Phoenix Rising
I saw the Eagle wounded, His mighty wings covered with soot, ashes and blood... I saw the Eagle falling, falling, And my heart was forever broken, Watching as the Eagle lay helpless in the flood. His enemy watched from a distance And laughed in a haughty tone. He was certain that with this act of violence He could kill the Eagle with a single stone! I saw the eagle dying And my heart suddenly stood still. I just couldn't stop crying... This whole thing made me rather ill! From the heavens a mighty wind covered the earth As the Eagle lay on the ground... And in awe I witnessed a miracle..a rebirth! The Eagle rose triumphant, Flapping his wings around.. He rose triumphant and once again.. Nothing, nothing can kill the Eagle! He has a mighty Iron Will! In horror the enemy looked up towards the horizon, Thinking he hit his prey To his surprise he was mistaken.. The Eagle has risen! After this horrific day, Like the Phoenix, transformed...... His spirit lives on forever... Day after blessed day! Mary Gonzalez (c) 2001Written October 21st, 2001 © on Oct 20 2001 11:28 PM PST, Mary Aris other • angst
