In darkest of nights I have seen
There was no star in the sky or moon light for company
My dreams had been massacred and my wounds were deep
My body was tired but my eyes still horrified would not sleep
Staring at the darkness outside
I could see the darkness inside
The universe being its expanse and time its depth
My hope to fly had met instant death
I had been flying above the rest
Had left them behind, I knew I was the best
I turned back to see the sun had set
I flew faster but darkness won the test
I collided into a rock and fell
And darkness was the place I had to dwell
I had to get back home for sure
But how much more pain could my wings endure
I needed light for my flight
I prayed and to my delight!
The very next moment I burst into flames
Darkness in me was ashamed
Hope had triumphed again
Surprised to see light I searched for its source
It was in me the flame had rose
Flapping my wings I rose to the sky
I was joined by many other who had forgot to fly
As tears rolled down their eyes
it was then that I realized
The FIRE BIRD has to fly in the darkness of our heart;bringing hope to all our desires that have seemingly met dead ends
the fire bird “NEVER GIVES UP”
I am a firebirdCalling all others…………………
