Phoenix Rising

I am awakening

Learning

Unfurling

Uncurling

No more stasis

No more numbness

No more silencing

Blocking

Ignoring

I am listening

Feeling

Seeing

Witnessing

The light was always poring in

Now I am aware of it

Now I am aware of me

Aware of those inside

Seeing them

Feeling their pain

Their tears wet on my face

Witnessing their bravery

Courage

Determination

Celebrating the survival of them

Of me

It is hard

It is painful

It is beautiful

It is worth the journey

Uncurling

Unfurling

Learning

I am awakening.
