The phoenix symbolizes immortality, resurrection and life after death. Depictions of a phoenix have appeared in Egyptian, Greek, Hindu and Chinese art and writings for a very long time. It also later appeared in medieval Christian writings as a symbol of death and resurrection. It's flight has been said to represent the capacity to leave the world and its problems behind, flying towards the sun in clear pure skies.
From the fires heart,
Where its pure and bright,
From the edge of the phospheresent light,
With talons sharper than a rasors edge,
With wings opening out into the night,
With a wisdom from the ages past,
The Phoniex rises from the fires depths,
And sours on wings of brillant flame,
Flickering rythmically to the flow,
Of the wisdom within its eyes,
Dancing through the skys,
Twisting, turning, rythmically betwine the stars,
Each feather of its body glowing,
Light's far furnace shines,
Each beet of its mighty wings
Takeing it higher up into the night,
Flying faster than the lightnings strike,
The Phoniex born of fire,
Sparks of the supersolar blaze.
Within its eyes,
The flowing fortunes of a thousand years,
That No sword of angels could reveal,
Within its heart,
The flowing love,of love eternal,
That no demon born of hell can smite,
Flying on The soaring orbit of the muse
Thro' heaven's etherial arch ..
