The Golden Phoenix..

        The Golden Phoenix

The mountain sides of the world
Rushed down from all directions,
The landslide seemed unstoppable,
Then rains, rains and rains came,
All hopes for young girl vanished.

Waters raised to the roof of the sky,
Her arms, legs swirled for survival,
Breath from her lungs shot forth as
The forceful water passed her lips,
All hopes for a young girl vanished.

Dazed unconsciousness lit her eyes,
Mind thoughts lessened, lessened,
Past or they dreams came to her,
Death’s knocks to enter she heard,
All hopes for a young girl vanished.

The Eyes of God opened! With love,
Caring, faith those surrounding her,
Waters to burning ashes, redemption,
Ashes burned away all doubts, fears
From the being child’s troubled soul,

Out God’s Heart burst Winded Beauty,
The Woman Warrior, strength, wisdom,
Fearless Lady, now A Golden Phoenix,
A treasure of God to roam the heavens
Of Earth and beyond into the Spirits.
