Eyes of the Phoenix

I wish to see through the eyes of a phoenix For nothing is quite as it seems Where tears of sadness doth reflect The healing power of many a dream I long to stare into the eyes of the phoenix To find out just what makes her cry And comfort her soul with a gentle embrace Until the burning grief subsides I hope to meet this mindful being To study the myth inspiring awe The elemental legend grieving Majestic peace entrepreneur Gracefully, I’ll stroke its head And marvel at sweet mercy’s flight While striving toward a similar end Knowing the water fuels the light Igniting flames from sparks anew Two opposites will co-exist Attracting faith from mountain dew While feeding off each others gifts I wish to make my home within The healing heat of fiery core Unscathed by heartbeats outside in I’ll live untouched forever more
