Born from Ashes by Franco Machado-Pesce
Adolescence is the spark
That sets you onto the rest of your life.
It ignites the flame
That leaves a trail of burnt pasts
To let new things grow in its scorched path.
In a forest of dark regrets and disappointments,
A fire will dance, blowing its embers
Of joy and success up into a midnight sky.
From it’s darkness we rise.
We emerge from the sea of ashes, anew.
Like a phoenix,
We are reborn,
Liberated.
