there was a fire
in my soul
long gone from ember
to settle
into cold ash.

you came
stirred the remains
with your curiosity
reignited
the flames inside.

now it burns
vibrant
with an inferno
that licks
the sky feverishly.

i was reborn
awoken
to be more
than i ever dreamt
before.

a phoenix
risen
to soar
through the sky
unfettered by the past.
