Phoenix

Fire 
Flames
Earth shakes as volcano roars
Brimstone shoots upward hundreds of miles

Lava pours down the mountain slope
Unimaginable is its scope
As lava meets up with oceanic abyss
The new land forms as the vapor will hiss

From the center of the crater
To the surface rises uncanny stone
It appears to have bits of lava 
Like a scar across façade of that stone

But this is no stone at all
It is an egg
And what appears to be lava
It is a life form that formed inside that egg

The shell breaks
And phoenix rises from what is left
He is heavenly spawn
The spirit given form

Like a kaleidoscope of many colors
He ornaments the stars
As he flies to the heavens
Past planets like Jupiter and Mars

In his talons
Fundamental fabric of existence is
Key to soul of Omni-verse
Physics Holy Grail divine bliss
