Literature Text

Born from fire and reborn from ashes
In the red sky like the sun it flashes
Flying up in the sunset’s flaming colors,
Creating a majestic sight like no other.

It roamed the land like a living ember
Far longer than anyone can remember
Always heading to lands unseen by man
And regions untouched by human hand.

The king of birds as some people call it
Keeps the fire of imagination brightly lit,
Can heal the wounds of those who deserve,
And share wisdom from his great reserve.

Its song is like pure honey for the ear
That the gods themselves stop to hear,
This symphony of sounds unheard before
Can bring eternal peace and end every war.

In the end it will meet its fiery demise
To rise again and fly back in the skies
Reminding us that no matter the pain
We can rise back and start all over again.

Of all the mythological creatures, one that always fascinated and inspired me is the phoenix. So naturally, I wanted to write a poem about this magnificent bird. Enjoy!
