Destruction and Rebirth (Psalm of the Fire Bird)

A Phoenix rises over the east
Sacrificing the darkness above --
Brilliant holy flames are
lighting dreams

Sorrows is singed, regrets become cremated.
Ashes of the old will scatter,
Unveiling rebirth.

    I really liked this, actually. When I saw the title it seemed kind of epic, and I thought, oh no, it is going to be some kind of science fiction 848349239290320230 worded poem.

    Instead, it was quite the opposite of what I thought.

    To me, I read of someone letting their emotions, caged inside, free....like a "bird" from the cage. And what better metaphor then a phoenix burning away, destroying those wrotten emotions.

    Pretty well penned Thanks for the entry.
