Ashes to ashes, and dust to dust,
The end of all we knew.
The death of all the love and trust,
To be reborn anew.
Spring, rebirth, a phoenix,
All symbols we all have seen.
One step forward, not a trick
Fleeing from where I’ve been.
Who was I? It matters not,
What matters is where I can go.
Sure-footed now, giving all I have got
Can’t let the relief show.
The past is behind, and I don’t dare look back -
Or else I may lose the way
One day at a time, my plan of attack,
I am stronger, or so they say.
What will I face? I’m excited to see
Despite all I’ve left behind.
The worst has now gone, I guarantee
No more will I be blind.
You’re by my side, that’s the difference this time
The reason I’m so sure -
We’re both damaged turned kind
Two halves of something pure.

- Comment from author about the poem: I wrote this when I was coming out of a terrible time in my life and met my partner.. My life is hard, and things didn't turn in to some fairy tale, but things are a little easier.

Two together stronger than one. A lovely write of the strength of support. Well written
Thank you my lovely
You are most welcome Anna
They say what doesn’t destroy you…..
Usually blinds, cripples, atrophies…
Just a joke…glad to see you back writing again.
Everyone on Earth is on their own but it sure is nice to have a “cheering section” through good and bad along the journey.
