Oh Phoenix!
Come alive from sacred fires
Unfold your wings like petals of rose
Uprisen from the furnace mouth,
Undaunted by the hands of death
Aflutter upon your golden wings!
Arise! Arise!
~*~
Thou, a sprout of fire,
A golden flame of light
Uprisen upon this earth,
As a symbol of eternal life
In the lengthening dark night,
Where all athirst for blood,
Where huntsman ravage for prey
You fly, singing and shedding light
Upward, you fly!
~*~
Singing a song of delight
Pursuing a rare adventure
Into the depths of heavenly skies
With the wings of golden fire
You fly, and measure the eternity,
Like a devotee's waving of light
In the worship of Goddess Great!

The Phoenix has always intrigued me, and you've captured his essence well. The undying bird of flame.
Well written, take care,

Ahhh, dear, Venkat...
I have a tattoo of a Phoenix covering a third of
my left arm. I wanted to get her, because of
the idea of resurrection and powerful life-force.
Of creating beauty out of ashes...
You've captured the essence of her here, with
your vivid words and pictures. It both inspires
and burns. A wonderful and well crafted piece.
As always, thank you for sharing it.
Much love,
~dawn |
