Poem 35 : When all seems lost

When your strength fails you,

When your faith breaks you,

When your shadow frightens you,

When darkness envelops you,

When people taunt,

Humiliate and hurt you,

When your love stabs you,

When times become tiring,

When fear rules you,

When you are left behind,

When you are left alone,

When you end up in a corner,

When all seems lost,

Rise, Rise thou, lonely stricken soul,

Rise like a phoenix

From thou burnt ashes.

Rise high to rule thy sky.

When wind fear your blazing wings,

Burn all that stands and breathes against you,

May that sky be engulfed by your raging fire,

Fire that will never fail you,

Fire that will bring you peace.
