The soul of forest goddess
trapped in the charred ruins
of a burnt forest,
Her body ravaged by
the human pride, vanity, greed, lust.
O thou lone journeyman,
Don't just go nonchalantly
through her yowling waves of pain,
Even if you can’t do much,
sit among the ashes in silence,
Because even your unvoiced, kindly presence
with someone crying in pain
is a contributing factor to her healing,
Be there as a witness
to the night’s gentle dewy kiss
on the ashes that were once lovely petals,
Just by doing so
you help and encourage the Phoenix spirit.
