Phoenix

Once upon a starry night

For a last time, she took flight

Towards the earth, towards the sky

Aeons of existence passing by

Looking back and forth she cries

Teardrops of eternity in her eyes

Reaching out to touch the eve

Of all things that she now must leave

Soaring through the mist of time

Caught in a melody with perfect rhyme

She danced to oblivion, playing the game

Until her very being burst to flame
