from the pile of ashes
the figure arose
in a Phoenix
like pose
his wings were blackened
by the fire's torch
the feathers bore the marks
of an inferno's scorch
forever he'd wear
the burn's scarring
as a reminder
of his marring
from the pile of ashes
the figure arose
in a Phoenix
like pose
on spread wings
in the heavens
he again soars
ascending above
the flame's
raging roars
his being flying free
a mythical flight
rising to cast off
the searing's blight
from the pile of ashes
the figure arose
in a Phoenix
