The Goddess

Rising up from the ashes of the phoenix

Grey matter swirling above loosely plated particles of blood and tears

Rising up from beneath the earths core

Vibrant colors of eternal haste to begin again in a new way

Within the dark skies of blackened night

All is silent among the somberness of waste and retribution

Rising up from the ashes of the phoenix

Sparks of light flicker through the nothingness

Whirlwinds of magical fervency become like fire among the silence

Trees bend with bone chilling, unwavering persistence

Twisting together in a dance of life and creation

They create a fever of power and that takes on a life of its own

Transforming slowly, she rises from the ashes of the phoenix

Pulling through the dead bark, blackened wisps of beauty

Eyes as red as the blood stained ground, she emerges

Breasts painted with insignias of passion from the world before

The ground trembles as she breaks free from soot and roots

The heavens open as she reaches her arms to the heavens

The falls, crashing into the abyss

Martyr for children and warrior of change

Unleashing her beauty upon the forgotten world that once held hope

She gathers breath, taking in all the poison of the past

Exhaling an inferno of furry that burns the old

So she will open her arms, olive colored skin glistening in the new light of tomorrow

Accepting victory and new beginnings

Erasing the penance and conceiving the future from another war won

Author's Note

I sat outside for quite sometime just watching the trees, listening to them breathe, silently praying to be touched by nature. For the first time in a long time I felt connected. I'm pretty sure my weird vision wont be as vivid in anyone elses head as it was in my mine but all I could see was nothingness and life springing from the ground and the sadness of the world being burned away. perhaps the sadness of my soul.

wow, amazing descriptions, I like the part about bark. it really seems as if you have a solid writing style. nice job!

[John Dennis Gillespie]

Wow! Absolutely wow! The fact that you used symbolism to relate nature to a Goddess/Phoenix not to mention your other symbolic references! I'm thoroughly impressed with this. I haven't seen to many bad poetry on this website, but this definitely stands out to me.

There is an epic feel to it. Forlorn but beautiful. A feeling unlike any other when you can connect to the majesty of nature and locate yourself within that realm as just a small speck to stand in awe and wonder.
