The Phoenix

Ashen bird crossing distances,
untamed by nature's fury
beating wings hurriedly,
without just cause for time--
divided by a crimson coat,
that burns on in the night
the essence of the burst,
tears a wound that heals--
clawing at the --sky-- for help
greeting the new bodied rise,
soaring without an ending
goes blindly into a new beginning 
alone and untouched--
there is order in the world.
