September's Poem: Song of the Phoenix

Published Sep 14, 2015

I'm a little late posting this one. I thought I had earlier but between hectic and sick I apparently forgot to.

Song of the Phoenix

In the morn I rise

A blazing sun of glory

Golden eyed and shining

A feather dropped quicks the dead

And my wrath the desert dread

In the morn I rise

A gleaming star of heat

Wings spread wide to the sun

My tear cleanses grievous wounds

Perhaps grants some other boons

In the morn I rise!

My wings beat against the skies

I make the winds to storm

And through the years I sail

Aloft, a-wing, and my approach hail’d

At night though, I fall

Worn and tired by the day

Mine 1,000 to your but one

I am grown dull and wear, at last

On my pyre nest I will softly rest

In the night, a fire!

Glorious rapture, to burn away

To the ashes and dust I return

A gleaming egg rests now in ember nest

Heated through the night, as is best

In the morn, I rise!

I rise! I rise!

The shell cracks and sets me free

Sets me free to once more be

Now I ask, do you know me?
