Phoenix

“Taiga”
Apr 29, 2024

The passion, possibility, and power of fire
The peace, truth, and love of water
One deserving, the other serving
One consuming, the other preserving
One attached to the corporeal, the other, trust incorporeal
Two sides of the same coin of living
Either apt to turn their back
On the unfortunate soul
Who feels to hold them all in hand
Until the rebirth’s blackened brand
Sears his grasp and releases
A basilisk shock
In what’s run amok
Through his wings to his heart
His strongest part
Til the tears of the phoenix
Fall, in love
