That Song and The Phoenix

This is a poem about getting carried away into music by Julia Lieberman.

That Song

It took me away from reality

And into the beat

That alternate universe

The feeling was sweet

Oh the voices

The guitar and the drums

Rocking out and swaying

I give it two thumbs

This is my world

I could live here forever

No stress and no worries

Nothing gets better

And after the instruments have stopped

It kept going in my head

It was stuck on repeat

Because like I said

It took me away from reality

And into the beat

That alternate universe

The feeling was sweet

But now as I lay here in bed

Another song

Pops into my head

The Phoenix is another poem that I wrote, based off of my understanding of phoenixes from reading Harry Potter. Phoenixes die but are then reborn from their ashes, and their tears carry healing powers.

The Phoenix

The cry,

Of a baby,

Conceived from it’s own ashes,

It’s fierce beak turns to the open sky

Ready for a new life.

Out of those young

yet somehow old eyes

Tears leak

Each one holding a great deal of power

They heal

They sizzle

Until all wounds are restored

It’s job is finished.

The gentle croak

Emanating from that deep,

Old,

fiery throat

Its intelligent eyes judging

what lies ahead.

Yet somehow it knows what’s ahead,

Ducking its head behind its wing,

It’s the last time.

But again,

the cry

Of the baby

That has sprung from the ashes once again

Pierces the air,

Reborn.
