Phoenix Rising From the Ashes

Seemingly lost in 
a desert
             we're on a path
which seems hopeless
       Let the city be 
remembered
              here in the ashes of
what once was glorious
                    A different type of
light came down upon us then
      Now it is a weary sun
which warms a weary people
        The sands stretch before us
and we despair
        Yet even in this black
 hour
       A still small voice calls 
to us saying
           "The Phoenix will rise
from the ashes"
  Light will dance once 
more on glittering domes   Don't yield to despair
        "A Phoenix will rise from the ashes"
