The Phoenix Rising

 

Serpent slithering airs

conceive him who dares

 

Muses singing a late

wanderer's fate

 

Birth to feel

earth so real

ears and eyes

and somewhat surprising

 

Some will question this lie

and attempt to defy

this dream forever

 

Fervent fevers collide

their secret to hide

 

Wave and wind leave behind

little ships that they find

 

Blood and phlegm

who will stem

fire and air

who does the caring

 

Some will question this truth

and encounter this ruthless

dream forever

 

though

May it be that

someday soon that

some will find a way

 

that some will find

the fading moon

the fading moon

the fading moon

 

that faintly near

they will appear

alive and true

and often you

 

awake and true

and often you

 

amazed and true

and often you

 

knowing

Earth and water will free

the searcher that be

 

Thousand mornings will hail

the seekers that sail

 

And you concede

as you bleed

truly wise

the Phoenix is rising

 

and

Death to be nothing more

than an evening before

a new forever
