Phoenix

By Anjali Sharma

Think,

Think till the angel of death arrives..

And ferries you on the golden ship..

From where your journey begins…

Decipher the rolled papyrus..

Where the stories left untold.. Await to

be scribbled…

The lost love, the fulfilled desires..

The nights that drizzled..

Pouring onto you..

The melancholy, creating a void…

Where you fall endlessly…

Oh universe have some mercy..

Help the folks not fall.. But

rise in love… Wear the

garland of failure..

To look back and reminisce…

The roller coaster life took you on..

The day you ceased to fear from heights..

Is the day you truly lived… Emboldened

now..

You dive into the pyre of death…

Only to rise like a phoenix…
