I wrote Ascension in 2023. It is part of the series called Twin Flames, and describes one of the phases of this spiritual journey. Compare this poem to Phoenix, written in 1988 at the age of 20. Similar sentiments 35 years apart.

I ascend

I ascend

Until I fly.

 

Hear me laugh

Hear me laugh

Until I cry –

 

I am free

I am alive!

 

I hurt in my soul

While I grew my wings

Where my heart once cried

My soul now sings!

 

I ascend

I ascend

Until I fly –

 

My soul is reborn

My voice is heard –

 

I will never die.

 

Vanita Shukla Hork, 2023

        I enjoyed the comparison between the past and present flights. Your younger self was explicit in what prompted your flight, and the modern self appeared to react to the general state of life, realizing that multiple events give us wings?

          Thank you so much,Christina 🙏Indeed, the older, modern self has realised that we die and are reborn several times in this lifetime. We earn our wings through life’s painful lessons🌷
