And Esther Rises

Yes, the 'phoenix 'has risen
 from the ashes, 'her' ashes!
Delicate, gray powdery residues
are now a 'golden brown,'
molded to perfection,
after the purgation.

The purgation was needed,

Indeed, it was.
How else would the 'purification' take place.
The 'redemption' after  repentance.

Endured pain,

was a 'purifying pyre '

that sanctified and brought forth

a 'burning transformation'.

Now, the dust no longer hangs lose.

Esther, takes 'wings' and sets forth,
for a sweeping  upward soar.
