EVERBURNING
by Sorana Lucia Salomeia


To revive from your own ashes
Like a Phoenix
After burning in the flames
Of your own passing
Is, indeed, an extraordinary matter.

No mater how many tempests
May over flood your existence
With grief, dirt and despondency,

No matter how many disasters
May try to divert you from your way,

You have the duty
To keep the coals inside your heart
Burning,

Keep the sparks alive
And turn it into a flame again.

Your heart – a crown of ever burning flames,
Your body – the ruin of a temple of marble,

But as the flame burns everything down to ashes,
It also brings rebirth into the core of death.
