From ashes, reborn,

Through pyre’s flame,

The Phoenix rises,

To victorious acclaim!

Sparks trickle down,

Like sands of time,

A fiery soul, to the skies,

He shall climb;

Until once again,

His nest, he does ready,

Though not yet ignited,

His task remains steady.

To return to his ashes,

Then restart again, new;

Find another reason,

Another land to pursue.

As wings clap together,

He creates his own fire;

The power of the Phoenix,

Soaring higher, and higher.

ethereal-839554_960_720
She rises from the waters
Her ethereal being flows

Billowing silken threads
Shadows in the throes

Of muddied liquid ripples
Chilled, against her skin

A soul, that’s buried far below
Her spirit, deep within

The sands of time, forever
She withstands, her body frail

Searching for the one she loves
Will she, at last, prevail?

She’ll rise again, tomorrow
In hopes, she’ll see him soon

Standing where she saw him last
Beneath the Harvest Moon

seascape-1160265_960_720Our memories will forever linger

Like the clouds with the winds

And the sands with the tides

Adrift in the ebb and flow of life

Friday Fantasy ~ Sands of Time

Do not fear the sands of time
As they slip between this glass
Time is only borrowed
All good things must pass

To yet another journey
Another land set far away
A place to find your hidden soul
That life has led astray

Yes, follow us and ride the night
As you take your one last breath
We have come to bring you home
Eternity, in the land of death
