Arisen from the ashes
Resurrected and reborn

Unfurling its fiery wings
Its eyes shine of a thousand suns
Its tail more solemn than a peacock's
Its talons, sharper than knives
And a heart bigger than life

Soaring above the clouds
Flying faster than light
Holding the world in its talons

Perched on the olive tree
It sits and stares at the forest below
As it wraps its fiery wings around its body
Its majestic fire dimming
It takes a sigh as its fiery feathers wither to ash
Where there was once a fiery bird is now a pile of ash
And one fiery feather

Arisen from the ashes
Resurrected and reborn
It unfurls its fiery wings and takes to the sky

A fiery feather caught in the tailwind
Drifts to the ground
Landing in a pile of fiery feathers
