I looked out over scorched land
And saw nothing.
Desolation. Destruction.
A lack of life and a lack of will.
It had been trampled by the flames
By that moving wall of heat...
Of boiling chaos.
It had been all wiped away.
Every hope. Every dream.
Every desire. Every idea.
There was nothing there on that land.
For I was barren. I was empty, just...
Existing.
I felt life beneath the surface,
But I didn't know how to reach it.
I felt strength within the earth
But could not harness it.
Till I saw the Phoenix.
It was black, like that of ash,
But it's eyes glowed with fire.
They glowed with passion, with thunder
For it was a force to be reckoned with.
I saw it afar off, and felt...
I felt like...I needed it.
That it had something for me
Something that it would lend or give
Something that could renew me...
All at once I was there, before it
Reaching toward it, because...
Because, God, it was so beautiful to me
And I had to touch it, I had to...touch..it
Wrap my finger within it's feathers and
Put my arms around it's being.
Scorched! Heat! Fire, and flame!
It hit me like lightning!
But it didn't fell me...it didn't topple me
Not ME, oh no! Instead...
It intralled me...it inspired me
It became a focal point for...me...
It became something precious.
Something special.
Something wonderful.
It reminded me that people were worth
More than they seemed sometimes.
That love was not a lost cause.
That giving was a treasure in itself.
And that the heart is the strongest...
And most vunerable part...
Of the body.
It gave to me of itself while it's flames
Gave to everyone and everything else.
It's fire burned and life was given
It's wings spread and people just stopped and said...
"Oh my God...will you look at that?"
I remember seeing it. I remember that.
I remember watching it burn out completely
Time and time again
Burn itself out in fury! In anger!
Only to rise again. Better. Stronger.
I remember loving it for what it was.
And I found that as long as I held to it
Even if only by a feather...
It's fire helped me to...remember...me.
What a wonderous being, that Phoenix.
