The Phoenix

She nested upon her self-made pyre preparing for another genesis in blaze hues of love and together they were a combustible fire She, the creature exquisitely forged by fire eternally existing within love's dimensions designed to mesmerize us, by swirling amber scarlet, and purple plumage with flecks of cobalt colors delicately dissolving amid the firelight shadows, a macabre dance her last love song Seemingly born to say goodbye and sweet is her demise this touch of heaven healing the wounded weeping eternal teardrops of Truth and beauty into hearts, selflessly with nothing to gain consuming pain all things made new And so it begins again and again as it ends... one of life's treasures never-ending hope, her sacrifice of love ____ 20 Titles From 20 Friends contest prompt: Another Genesis (M.L.
