The Phoenix

Signs of hammers bouncing off the plate,

The scattered pieces levitate and dance

Towards Mosaic Sky, to have a core

Of grounded roots, away from shifted lies.


They prance until the morning dew awakes

Upon the cultured grass, to wash away

Last night's disguise, connecting into a lake,

Avoiding sprays and spills of daffodils.


The rays beat down on neglected life

To squeeze the source out, until devoid

Of any song, to leave a withered frame,

To crumble into ashes—a pile of vanity.


There a fire awakens, bursts into

A cry, it breaks the silence into the sky.
