Phoenixmon

 The chronicle said
the sign of the rise
of a phoenix is dark
dark is the extinguishing of lamp
after lamp
the withering of ivy
the hardening of ice
dark is the misty bewildering length
of the night
dark is demons dancing and taunting wildly
dark is the seed of despair beneath the tundra
the sleeping soil in the dead of winter
the elements came and told
the phoenix rising is gold
like purified skies
like gleaming lighthouse
like gorgeous nutriment of summer
like outflow of sunrise
like spring in the thick of north
then it's understood
the rise of a phoenix
is the revival of all things
reawakening of the soul
poem of consciousness
the cleansing crest of love.

One thing

A vector that runs from negative infinity to positive it strings everything from past to present if you abide by its line you can find the roots that have gone astray you can find the future that lies ahead time is a paintbrush that smudges green on the field then turns it yellow meanwhile time is a magic wand that changes everything it makes leaves marcescent it makes flowers fragrant time is a fountain it nourishes the hearts of lovers it makes their affections grow stronger and deeper  but at the same time it's also a powerful carving knife it wears down the grievances smooths the differences between people engraves all the beauty on their minds time is a touchstone it exposes those  things that only shine outwardly restores their former tones  time is a good unguent it heals all the pain and wounds leaving only happiness, wellness and hope time is the overlord of all societies it brings some down lifts some up in fact time is a merciless killer it will bury everyth...
