Jumping From Ashes Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Setting fires in intellect, watching them engulf imagination,
bringing burning desires to the foreground.

Enlivening many possibilities as they jump from the ashes like
a Phoenix bird of old.

Rising above the sorrow, sadness, loneliness, and abandonment
issues of life, insinuating themselves protectively inside.

Never lessening themselves, just hanging onto their perspectives
until I write of them in poems.
