"Phoenix"

Out of my ashes will rise a new phoenix.

A soaring being returning from death proving once again that life is eternal.

I live forever because the spirit never dies.

I will return in another body in another time, but it is me.

The me who is me now will always be.

As long as I live, I learn. And I live forever.
