A bird song

The phoenix hid its tears 

futile as they were

"Burn I have to any way 

on my self created pyre 

  
I will sleep in my nest of  
fiery flames tonight 
  
Let the hungry fire take all 
I won't put up a fight 
  
For I know this moment will pass 
and I will be born again 
  
Rise from my ashes I will 
and soar in to the skies again 
  
How pretty my new plumage'll 
be with all the rainbow hues 
  
I will touch the moon and stars 
before merging in to the skies 
  
I will sing aloud a song 
echoing in the mountain and plain 
  
I will take my own time
coming back to my nest again" 
  
Saying thus the phoenix 
went to sleep on its bed of fire...

From the ashes, we will, indeed, rise, look back and discover that whatever it was that burned was good for us, after all…..

I love every line of this poem, Chitra. In fact we all should be like the Phoenix, we should acquire the strength to rise above everything that keep us down, by ourselves. Nice poem anyway.
