Life and time devours everything,
some beings are destined to get hurt,
rest all have a premature fall.
I am standing tall for a long time,
shattered with my urge of existence,
culled several times before,
and prepared to face same in coming future.
I stand tall with wounds,
some of them straight in my heart,
I know, I am ancient.
I am here around you from time unnoticed.
I may cease to exist,
but I will rise.
Every fall would be push for me to land
in a highland oracle.
I do not wait for the time to heal my wounds,
I know they are only superficial marks.
I rise from the fire,
I rise from my ashes,
I am an invincible pheonix.
