Phoenix Rises Over and Over
Phoenix is reduced to ashes.
Consumed by a powerful flame.
They lay strewn all over the ground.
Just mere ashes, no more than dust.
Hardly anything that's living.
However, this is not the end.
The bird comes together once more.
It's more dynamic than before.
Into the sky, ascend and soar.
It reaches prominence again.
