Under a shivery midday embrace
In a shade of algid sun's rays
a hung flamboyant, peacock flower
leaving the air agape
with their genius hues
bead petals shimmered
as gemstones lead the way
to nature's sublime dream
a soft breeze blew across trees
nurturing comfort of time
beneath a sparkling, lovelorn sky
With fortitude fetching flute tune
echoes through the valley
It signals cease of a journey
Its courteous aromas fit lovers
warmth rekindles dead twigs
nature's oasis is
vibrant and fragrant
vibrancy, stimulation
a gentle breeze carries
an intoxicating scent of flowers
enhancing sensory experience
Flames fiercely flare flowers
speckled sheen starkly studs
rosemary-blue butterfly
swirls in the air
as the Phoenix's skyline
dispels all gloom
a powerful song fills
the hallowed halls.
dreams and wishes
echo resoundingly.
Phoenix's tale of renewal
bravery and grace
is a story of vying
ashes deeming success
with poise zest
It's time for fresh
fieriness to flourish
and nothing can stop it
Winter doldrums are nearly over
restore obliterating radiance
bleak black charcoal
awakening an upward world
a kaleidoscope of colors
and a loud choir
utterly unique and dazzling light
ornamentals adorned stars
soaring high, aiming at the sky
Phoenix flight reminiscence
to achieve solace and delight
we glimpse ourselves in it.
