The Phoenix

it flies,
soars above the world
its wide wings spread
coasting on pockets of air

it has perfect perspective
can see much further than I
if i'd had the sight this creature has
i would have seen you coming from miles away

but like the phoenix i will rise
pull myself from the flames
of this burning pyre
and I will fly again
