Eternal Rhyme
In winter’s quiet, frostbitten embrace,
Where snowflakes fall with delicate grace,
A figure sits,
serene and sublime,
A soul attuned to the cadence of time.
Her face,
a clock of wisdom untold,
Each tick a story,
each hand spun gold.
Hellebores bloom in the still,
cold air,
Defying the frost with a beauty rare.
The birds linger,
their songs subdued,
Harmonizing with winter’s contemplative mood.
Bare branches whisper of endings near,
Yet her presence breathes the promise of a new year.
Paths of frost wind underfoot,
Moments glimmer where light takes root.
The bench becomes her fleeting throne,
A Queen of Time in a realm of her own.
Not bound by duty,
nor crowned with fame,
Her essence remains, untouched by name.
Each snowflake,
each breath,
each fleeting sigh,
A reflection of truths that never die.
In winter’s stillness,
her spirit remains,
A beacon of peace through life’s refrains.
Through veils of frost,
her being will stay,
An echo of hope for each new day.

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.
