From ashes whispered by time’s embrace,
I emerged—a symphony of flame and grace
through fire’s roar, my soul was torn,
yet, in the blaze, my truth was born
Each ember kissed my tender skin,
Searing away the fear within
the agony sang a sacred hymn,
a requiem turned radiant, bold, and prim
The fire, my crucible, my sacred test,
brought forth the courage I now possess
Its heat did not destroy my name,
but forged my spirit, wild and untamed
Jovial winds now dance with me,
their whispers hum with destiny
my wings, aglow with ancient might,
pierce the heavens, reclaim the night
Oh, how sweet the burn that freed,
the flames that sowed my soul’s new seed
for in the fire, I found my core,
a phoenix rising forevermore
So let the rivers of life now flow,
in harmony with the truths I know
courage leads where fear once stood,
and all align as it surely should—
