Phoenix Dance...

Listen to the wind of Voices gone,
the flight of the flame is in your grasp
Feel the wind on fire wings
The pounding of a heart in flight.

The majestic soaring, a bird of light
Come dance with him, in the midnight sky.

Echoing shadows on the moons' glow
swooping, gliding time so slow,
swirling feathers, crying of the air
dance of the ages, a light to near.

'Come dance with me', the spirit gasps,
you take to the air your spirit laughs

But tears of joy turn to regret,
as the great bird fades, upon It's last soaring breath.

But in times of woe he dances for you
Majestically he is born Anew.

'Phoenix dance' you breathe the words,
flames like arrows, spirit that swirls.
His fire-wing pierce your clouds
He breathes the words 'your spirit is new'

Listen to the words of voices gone,
Listen to the sound of a bird's Hum

' dance with me again' he whispers to you,
For I am here, The fire is new.
In your heart I  light the sacred flame,
let me soar for you, know my name,
Let my tears take away your hurt,
heal your wounds, let your love burst forth,
Know your self and take to flight,
for I am forever your guide, the bird of light' .

A bird appeared to me in meditiation.. his words broke away my self-made shell, he has been with me since.

    Oh my goodness what a fantastic poem.'Phoenix dance' you breathe the words,
    flames like arrows, spirit that swirls.

    Very beautiful

    This is very well written. I'm very glad you found a friend in meditation. That is not so rare, but not a lot of people believe in it. I am one that does. Good Job and Good luck in the contest.

    Wow.....
    I had to come check out your page after seeing your contest. I had a feeling you would have written a phoenix piece....

    This poem is beautiful. It took me on a flight with the bird as I read. The imagery is wonderful, you really got a lot of emotion across too. I really loved it.
    The title is gorgeous too, so vivid and emotive.

    The feeling within this piece is lovely. The hope, the joy, and the love.

    Interesting and at time’s beautiful, I especially like the end: “Know your self and take to flight, for I am forever your guide, the bird of light' .”
