I Live Again...


Taking birth from ashes,
I fly again
Like a phoenix
I rise again

I look into the eye of storm
keeping my face upto rough weather,
I ride atop the flames
keeping my wits together
smoothening my ruffled feathers,
I soar again..

I gather the sticks again,
building new nests
I brace myself again
waiting for new tests
I keep walking on,
taking no rests
I keep my faith on,
hoping for the best
Struggling to keep hope afloat,
I live again...
