Phoenix

Two years have passed
that melted away my ties to the past.
Day by day,
in very small ways,
I erase those years,
that death filled with tears.
A Phoenix who rises out
of turmoil and doubt,
burning away the chains
of lie filled remains
that once bound me
to believe in one who deceived.
The heavens above
know the truth about love,
blowing away the darkness
with a sun filled caress.
No longer blinded,
I am often reminded
the error of my ways
each and every day.
With a wry smile
and a mental swat at myself
memories put away
in a place far from the light of day.
Buried deep and soon replaced,
they sink and crumble till there is no trace.
Light, golden and embracing,
till there is only tomorrow that needs facing.
So now I leap and fly
a golden shadow against the sky.
