The Phoenix and the Dragon

As the Phoenix rose from her ashes

And the Dragon silenced his roar

The distant lighting flashes

And he swoons as he watches her soar

For he had seen never something so bright

She burned with a fire that could not be doused

In this the Dragon felt contrite

And all her enemies the Phoenix would roust

She had this way about her, something so soothing and warm

Legend told of her beauty and intensity

And how she could calm every storm

The Dragon enjoyed her propensity

He found her beautiful, alluring and strong

The Dragon was mesmerized by her brilliance

She sang such a beautiful song

She exalted such resilience

The Dragon could not help but sing along

Though the Phoenix may have her battles, she will always win the war

For the Dragon sees the warrior

And her magic quiets his roar

So the Dragon is no longer a worrier

She moves in a way that's enticing

With every move that she makes

The Dragon will never abandon her

No matter how hard the ground quakes

The Phoenix is a one of a kind

An answer to a prayer

There is no greater light that the Dragon could find

Than the beauty of the Phoenix's flare
