"The Golden Phoenix"


Dying grey embers,

smolder,

desolate.

Confined within,
a cooling grate.

When, of a sudden,
ashes stir.
Something noteworthy,
does there, occur?

Then, on a moment,
no physical recourse,
flames, high heat,
come bursting forth!

Lost amid that heat intense,
the unfolding of,
our main event!

A brilliant light, it radiates,
enow the whole planet
to fully sate!

Then casting off,
its grey disguise,

The Golden Phoenix,

It doth arise!

Again re-born!

As in days of old,
new wings of burnished gold, unfold!

Rising with a rush,
those wings to try.
To fly!

Soar triumphant!

Once more,

Master...of the sky!

I felt a bit of whip-lash between the colloquial language and the occasional archaicisms.

The mixture was deliberate! Each time the golden bird rises anew, it is a forward time with different mores. It takes time for the old ways and modalities to be shucked...
