What once was coal
Sparks
Fail to
Ignite
Smoking cinders
Roll
As
A bird
Takes
To flight
Flames
No longer lick
Embers glow no more
Two strong legs kick
And wings help the bird soar
Darkness diminished by wings
Outstretched wide
The birth of the phoenix
Has just been described
High up above flies the magical bird
Once only ever dreamed of in our real world
I’d love to see a Phoenix rising from the ashes . . . oh, wait, I just did. 😀

Very good Tom. Pity we can’t rise from our ashes – but then maybe we do? 🙂
I believed in reincarnation, but who wants to come back as a tin of condensed milk???
Probably said this before, but it’s still worth a chuckle! 🙂
God Bless my friend and be warm! 🙂

You always make me laugh when you mention the condensed milk, Prenin!
I think we do, by the way. Rise from the ashes, that is!

[…] Aquatom Tom is working on a book. Or, his personalities are working on a bunch of books together. I don’t know which, but I love his writing, and I cannot wait to see what he does with his project. […]

Indeed we do rise and are rising at this very moment in time! The whole shift of humanity is none other than the Phoenix in flight. There is nothing we cannot do, so if we wish to rise we do…Time to remember how powerful we really are, not the weak ones we have been told we are forever. It is now that we must remember who we really are…..Good one T……VK

Thank you, Andro, and I hope that your week is good as well!
I’m pleased you liked this post… I was debating whether to ‘design’ my own phoenix, but went just for the wings instead and carried the fiery colours through the text.

They may be real, you never know… remember the old saying ‘there’s no smoke without fire’… just think! 😉
No, I think they are magical creatures too, real or legendary!
