Phoenix Awakes

O great one rise
Phoenix awake and soar
from war torn souls
smell and taste of burnt ash

eyes wide with hurt
feathers awash
as Phoenix rises once more
cry with the ages
as he rises once more

wings spread circles again
calling for his one
with tail of gold
her wings full of love for him

pressing her heart to his
peace and love flows thru
her regal form
wings fold eyes aglow
lost love besides him once more

to their nest they fly
let us mere mortals
never ask why
