"Left with Ashes"

"Left with Ashes"

by:

Virgilio F. De leon Jr.MD

I

The thing with fire

is sometimes you need to deal with the ashes

And Ashes are you left me with

Ashes and Ashes and nothing less but Ashes

II

And it sounds like I have nothing

but I have all that I need

A Phoenix needs nothing more than this

and the nothing becomes something indeed

III

Reversing what the fire left

and rising from the wastes

Soaring high and alive

Till the next mighty burn
