 Phoenix

The Phoenix be a bird of myth,

A great bird of paradise who

Lives for many centuries with

Feathers of red and yellow hue.

When this Phoenix lifespan be done,

This great bird builds its sacred nest,

And there awaits until the sun

Rises to give a fiery rest,

Sending a spark to light the fire,

Consuming the Phoenix in flame.

For resurrection to inspire

Human hearts, the Phoenix became.

From the ashes a short time when

The Phoenix bird does rise again.
