Heart of the Dreamer
In Liverpool’s mist,
a child was born,
With dreams so big,
his soul was torn.
From humble streets to lights of fame,
The world would never be the same.
Fame did not crown him with pride,
But filled his heart,
a vast divide –
A longing there,
to heal and mend,
To see the world,
his truest friend.
Through every song,
a whispered plea,
For love and peace and unity.
He sang for all,
the weak,
the strong,
A voice for right against the wrong.
No walls or borders bound his call,
He dreamed of peace,
a world for all.
Though taken too soon,
his light remains,
In melodies and sweet refrains.
So here we stand,
his dream our guide,
With hearts laid open,
arms spread wide.
Thank you,
John,
for daring to start —
A life that spoke straight to the heart.
—
In memory of John Lennon, whose heart reached the world.

About The Hand Behind The Phoenix Quill— I’ve lived many lives within one — some born of light, some forged in fire. Each left its mark, and in the ashes, I found my voice. The Phoenix Quill was never just a name; it became my heartbeat — a place where pain turned to purpose, and truth was no longer something to survive, but something to share. I am a poet, artist, advocate, and storyteller — guided by a love that refuses to die quietly. Through words and imagery, I tell stories of resilience, of rising when the world says you’ve fallen too far. My work carries pieces of the people and places that shaped me — veterans, children, the voiceless, the forgotten — and the fire that demanded their stories be heard. Every poem, every painting, every creation under The Phoenix Quill is born from that promise: to turn heartbreak into healing, to honor truth even when it burns, and to remind others that they, too, can rise. This is my life’s work — to give voice to the silence, hope to the weary, and beauty to the broken. Welcome to The Phoenix Quill: Words Born of Fire, Inked in Truth. Where ashes become art — and every word remembers how to rise.
