Ice

15 11 4
                                    

Into frost I turn your fire

Freeze the spark of desire

But not to quell the flame 

Intending not to hide in shame

But from the fragmented light

I rise.

Not every change is for the worst

Like that fire I still thirst

Of ambition.

I will rise like the blaze

And escape from my vice

For I am a phoenix

A phoenix of ice
