A Legend From the Ashes

Once every

    five-hundred years


the phoenix 

     shall

          rise

From the ashes


To seize

    the sadness

        and despair


The legend will 

    create the holy fire

And burn itself

    as the soul 

        sets 

            ablaze    

The fire cracking 

    and howling


The eyes bursts to 

    flames

Its heart burns to

    ashes


Leaving piles 

    of ash

        and ember


Moments later 

the remains

    lit

        with

            scorching fires

    

The phoenix

    arises again

        with

            valiance

                and valor


Prettier than

    any creature


And pierces

    through

        the sky

Sharp

    as

        a lance


With 

    beauty

        might

            and power


Shall return 

    as 

        the 

            task

                 is           

                     done
