Will the Phoenix?

Will Phoenix reincarnate rise, inspire
Incandescence, stirring ashes cold,
Linking lives retold with courage bold,
Leaving shadows for more potent fire
That lights hope's beacon spurning suttee pyre?
Hope based on hope alone’s blown to fools' gold.
Emotions must be shared, not rented, sold.
Prospects rosy which the 'heart's desire'
Has tinted often sink in mirage mire.
Only when courage follows through behold
Energy well channelled to unfold
Nurtured interplay success may sire.
If shared sparks can transform base element
XX XY should thank stars heaven sent...
