Fiery Rose

It burns its way out of wood
resembling a fiery rose, 
and penetrates the gloom 
with gleams and bloom.

It murmurs ceaselessly, 
its breath an autumnal aroma,
with the finesse of melancholic nostalgia.

It contemplates constellations,
its eyes a myriad of reflective lanterns.

It rises and rises gallantly 
like a summoned Phoenix,
sparkles and sways, 
as if in delirium.

Its blaze 
an avalanche of petals, 
the color of sunset,
the perfume of ethereal catharsis.
