you are a phoenix.

trees with frog feet branches
and fire colored hair,
bow before your ashy wings
in awe.

a rose petal falls to your clawed feet;
such is the fragility of love,
but life is risen again, anew
with a brighter rose
in morning dew.

the sun is harsh, and angry, and oblivious;
its fiery ways go unheeded,
and staying in it's stare too long
may cause your feathers to
wither, peel
and burn.

but even the sun fades with time
as the moon may not provide warmth, but compassion;
the day's ashes, and
it will share the darkness in you
birth light, heat
and flighty embers in your dark eyes
to embark on saturnine, arduous journeys
toward the stars.

you are mysterious,
because you are bowing before the galaxies,
and asking their advice,
though their bafflement is of you
born in fire,
dead in ice;
created in ashes and expected to live;
you are a phoenix,
and you are illogical

in the sense that even in darkness
you arise
hope you like it (:
