The Pheonix
May 21, 2015
The wings open wide,
Spreading like sunshine
Over the dark and lost world,
Bringing hope from ruin.
Spreading like sunshine
That bathes its people in light,
Bringing hope from ruin,
And life from ashes.
Reborn from destruction,
The wings open wide,
Shedding light and love
Over the dark and lost world.

I recently had a class in which my teacher asked me to write a pantoum poem. The result was this quick little thing with a sort of dystopian feel to it. I took the idea of a pheonix being reborn from ashes and used it as a device to explain a struggling world. The world today has quite a few struggles, but there are some people in it that seem very similar to the pheonix in my poem. Even in the worst of times, some people can bring light to the darkness, and that is what this poem is about.
