Birds Of Fire

Missing image
Born of ash and lighted fire,
this luminous bird was brought
Unto this earth from deeds of good,
summoned by pure thoughts

To gently guide the wandering soul,
through troubled times of woe
Soothing the aches of heart and mind,
a pathway he does show

Being wise beyond the ages,
with mystic powers; he can heal
From a single tear; a fatal wounds,
blood may be congealed

To live as long as eight hundred years,
then flame into an ash
Then rise again from that same nest,
at the cooling of the flash 
   
They are invincible in battle,
when wounded they would burn
And in a blaze this celestial bird,
would make triumphant; his return

Divinity often surrounded them,
in their cherished gift of song
Bathing in the purest waters,
gave them power and made them strong

For millennia they have been sought,
for their beauty and insight
To befriend this sacred bird,
would bring knowledge and a guiding light

Prompt:
"...a bird was born.
His flight was like the flashing of light,
his plumage was beauteous
and his song ravishing..."
