Enlightenment

flaming pyre, descent from paradise into earthly hell, finality 
diminished to ash, dark, choking, yet never ending consciousness 
spark of light survives within, Arise Phoenix, live, fly freely 
mortal death chain unbound, sun spirit reborn to roam once more
knowledge of what will be, held within fiery eyes, enlightenment
