Phoenix Poem by Almedia Knight-Oliver

I crawled on my own
Stood up alone…
Walked through teenage years
Confused and laughing with delight
Then the successor of my teen
Shuddered through intense
Turbulent times.
Let me share some pieces of
Mosaic young adult life:
First a baby boy, without a career
Had far less than more, yet bonded
Following a long relationship
Thereafter, mishaps stretched over time
Then fizzled.
Like Phoenix, I rose from the ruins
Transformed, though, near the end
And am living a brand new life again…
