The Flames of Paradise
The fire of the Phoenix burns all it touches
and creates a flaming blaze
which can melt even glass
it burns everything,
except for the Heron,
its legs thin but strong.
standing, while the Phoenix hovers over it,
majestically beating his wings,
creating a powerful gust above the Heron
and sending more wheat into the inferno
but the Heron just stands there unfazed
by the fire surrounding it and threatening its life
two birds seem like one
in the burning field of wheat
some only see the Heron
but the Phoenix will be there for others,
you just have to use your imagination.
