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

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.
