Red Breasted Phoenix

Red Breasted Phoenix

The day Joy returned .....
A cheeky crooner came to preen
Took perch upon my wing mirror
Peered in through a dust smeared windscreen

Joy had been lonely in the bushes
Hide and go-seek such a solitary game
From whom had Joy been hiding?
Go-seeking so much restrained!

But a shaft of Springtime Sunlight
Dared to dance in her den of demise
Stoked Life in scattered cinders
'RED BREASTED PHOENIX, ARISE!'

Joy invoked all her Courage
Passion, Self-Love and Trust
And let them shine from her swollen heart
To Laugh again Joy must

So alighting on my wing-mirror
Robin's song was crystal clear
Why focus on what's behind you?
When a Present is right here ....
