The Phoenix
Oh, majestic bird
With broad jewel wings
Soar sweet bird, enigma
Born of heaven gift to man
Soar high skimming treetops
Shadow the evening red-orange sun
Fly jeweled bird flashing sparkling
Violet-green against the blue sky
Fly free, free just a little while
As earth and air pivot your binds free
Free free just a little while
Till time and heaven decree
Spin sparks flying in a spiral downward dance
To burn hot flames, blaze within the melted sun
burnt black ashes your only mark
Just a little while, a little while
When once more rising from black remains
Jeweled feathered wings spread wide
Free of earths nature your chains unbound
Soar high upon sweet angel wings, magical journey
High in the cool cool moon light mist
High and free echoing cries, pure joy
From ashes to bird of Eden
Fly high and free forever more

A most visual poem. Vivid images.
Excellent.
It's possible to see and hear this piece..without actually doing either
very vivid
Yeah, I like this and the Phoenix is the ultimate transformation.
Love the jewel-like images in this one.

Very nicely written.
Beautiful from start to finish. I loved the interjection of cool mist you brought in towards the end. It made an excellent contrast to all the heat being generated.
