Return

From the remnant ash I will return once more,
To the way of the Phoenix I do implore
That which is Life shall burn so bright,
A splendor to all caught in its sight
And from this place of Nature do I even exist,
By its sheer desire do I yet persist


Take heed to the words so spoken
Take heed, and listen close



For it is always in the search within
That One can be truly awoken



From the remnant ash,
I will return once more

Awoken:
v. A past participle of awake.

a⋅wake- verb, a⋅woke or a⋅waked, a⋅woke or a⋅waked or a⋅wo⋅ken, a⋅wak⋅ing, adjective
–verb (used with object), verb (used without object)
1. to wake up; rouse from sleep: I awoke at six with a feeling of dread.
2. to rouse to action; become active: His flagging interest awoke.
3. to come or bring to an awareness; become cognizant (often fol. by to): She awoke to the realities of life.

Not trying to be vindictive or anything by clarifying, just relaying in a small way the notion of checking the validity of a word in a poem or any other literary work before making commentary. It helps both the writer and the one doing the critiquing.

You'd better wise up, Pony... you get tough like me and you don't get hurt. You look out for yourself and nothing can touch you, man.
