Phoenix Rising

My wife calls me crazy
My mom knows I’m nuts
The rest of the family all think I’m a klutz
I’ve been given more labels
Than holes in my jeans
Until now I’m a stranger
Who drifts through his dreams

But a bright ray of sunshine
Has ripped through the clouds
Has turned off the darkness
Cut the chains, cut the shrouds

By John H Thomas Jr

Like the phoenix I’m rising
Towards the sun’s warming orb
I’ve found new direction
New armor I’ll adsorb

Still shaky and fearful
I’ll arise to the task
Of planning my future
And forgetting the past
