The Phoenix – Beloved Dreamer
Beloved Dreamer has requested for a review of a poem and here it is.
I present to you The Phoenix..
The Phoenix by Beloved Dreamer
Oh, majestic bird
With broad jewel wings
Soar sweet bird, enigma
Born of heaven gift to man
Soar high skimming treetops
Shadow the evening red-orange sun
Fly jeweled bird flashing sparkling
Violet-green against the blue sky
Fly free, free just a little while
As earth and air pivot your binds free
Free free just a little while
Till time and heaven decree
Spin sparks flying in a spiral downward dance
To burn hot flames, blaze within the melted sun
burnt black ashes your only mark
Just a little while, a little while
When once more rising from black remains
Jeweled feathered wings spread wide
Free of earths nature your chains unbound
Soar high upon sweet angel wings, magical journey
High in the cool cool moon light mist
High and free echoing cries, pure joy
From ashes to bird of Eden
Fly high and free forever more
My Comments
One thing for sure about this poem is that it is very grand and majestic.
This poem describes how a Phoenix can be so strong and powerful. With words like ‘majestic bird’, ‘broad jewel wings’ and ’soar high’ or ‘fly high’ suggest that the bird is really magical and in a way that perhaps it can be a protector.
I like the beginning part. However, as I am more on the light side so this seems to ‘Shakespearean’ to me. Nevertheless this is a great poem, worth reading..
