Mighty eyes do pierce
As night favors the raptor
With a simple glance

In a dream, she sails
To faraway places
Hoping, at last
To find out what space is
A bag fully packed
She reaches for the sky
Balloons, shaped like planets
Will help her to fly
A billion stars fill the night
Oh! How they shine!
A little girl and her dreams
How I wish they were mine…

As she lifts the veil
Awakening morning’s light
Freedom is given
Her flocks fly hurriedly by
Before darkness reigns again

I step out
Into the darkness
A passing mist
Gently brushes my skin
And dances
Across my cheek.
I dare not wipe it away,
For fear
Its magic could
Quite quickly disappear
So I let it linger,
Color the starkness
Caressing me,
I savor this wicked sin
Like a lover’s kiss,
It is what I seek.

There’s a fire in the sky,
A blaze in the night;
The phoenix has risen,
A harrowing sight.
Out of the ashes,
She burns like a flame;
Dare not touch her,
You’ll not be the same.
Anger has plagued her,
She’s out on a tear;
No mercy does she hold,
You better beware.
She’ll scald like acid,
Her touch is sure death;
Like a funeral pyre,
She’ll steal your last breath.
Coveting daylight,
She blocks out the sun
Engulfing, surrounding
There’s nowhere to run.
As she savages the land,
With a spark she does maim
Sad to say, we have only
Us humans to blame….
**Authors Note: The incredible picture above was taken by my friend Sharon. This was the sky, down the shore in NJ, last night. Can you see the face in the fiery clouds? I chose to believe it was a phoenix, although I must admit it looks more devilish…
