Phoenix

Pheonix

Glittering sunbeams in the blood-red sky
Milky waters crashing wave on wave
Freezing heights of terraces
Mountains gleaming to their prey

Rustling leaves filling the night sky
Like a flower, a budding flower
Clouds of thunder fill the sky

Golden sands grace the evening
As shadows run straight into the night
Hear the haunting melody
See a story's plight

Cascading from the luster pearls
Of the deafening air
Crack, roars the thunder
Crash, goes the water's waves

No one would dare venture here
Not even the most brave

The clouds open
To reveal a blinding light
Many have seen it
But not a soul sleeps in the same night

The soothing clouds of heaven
The smoldering fires of hell
Engulf a flaming circle
Where one mysterious creature does dwell

Splitting the the sky
One side gold, the other silver
A sovereign among saviours
Their voice coos and shivers

A giant echo that rips the clouds
Apart from heaven's gates
For centuries
People did wait

Blazing from the sky
Drops this amazing being
Red and orange, yellow, black
Falls this bird and its breeding

The roars, the cracks, the splitting of thunder
All goes silent at this beautiful descent

Its wings spread out as does the entire earth
Its travel signaled as cathedral bells
Glowing eyes of ember
Born of heaven and hell

The legend of myth
Descends from the sky
Bringing straight behind
A mellow lullaby
