THE PHOENIX

From fire and ashes the Phoenix came,
A symbol of life - tried in the flame,
Soaring with caution, fed by desire,
Rising in victory, though tried in the fire.

Temptation as always, its feast has spread,
The banquet we ordered from our ashen bed,
Time - its moments are here to inspire,
As thoughts move our feelings, performing desire.

An inner computer - the program we make,
Forms from decisions each moment we take.
From thoughts and ideals flows a life-giving surge,
And from daily efforts, behaviors emerge.

These actions will light a candle of peace,
Within our own spheres to bring a release,
From the shackles of fear to rise in the light,
To join formations, already in flight.

Daily to soar on new strengthened wings,
Fed by the fire burning within,
Flashing our lights as spirits soar higher,
Signalling others as we cheer and inspire.
