Phoenix

he lost his grip
just as quick
as he had picked up that glass
he percieved to be half empty.
and just as quick
her words overwhelmed him like a wildfire;
what once was the heat igniting his desire-
had now engulfed his mind
and left him but a trembling shadow
of all the doubts
he had worked so hard to find.
and though they sat at a table
meant for just another breakfast
she soared like a phoenix:
her soul set a blaze because
She had already made her mind up to fly
and with the wings that he had given her
she had finally found her sky!
