life and death–day and night
a phoenix rises–flying high and burning bright
i see fire inside–fire in your eyes
smoldering in darkness–just out of sight
our time on this earth is bounded by time
but memory lives on–psychic power recombines
ageing and fragile–undone by mortality’s hand
our guidance will transcend the grave–if we summon the power to understand
mere mortals we are–evolving towards the unknown
death is a cruel teacher–leaving seeds waiting to be sown
so much loss–so much pain–so many words left unsaid
cosmic love flies transcendent–burning in the ashes of the dead
