Watch

Watch the fire,
illuminate the nighs sky,
Watch
its luminous red stream
streak across the sky.

Watch the beautiful bird
sing across the land
its song reaching
to the smallest man.

Watch the immortal bird
regenerate a wound
with the touch
of a single tear

Watch the firebird
make its nest
as soon as the sun
rises over the hill.

Watch this noble bird
as it sings
to the sun
in its last waking moment

Watch this dying bird
clap its wings
and embalm itself
in flames

Watch the ashes of the bird
as it is reborn again
into this beautiful
immortal
noble
Phoenix.
