Rising

Future lingers while Past is Present

Folding and unfolding her many hands

Placing a finger at each post of the face

Winding and turning, pushing, pulling, playing a steady progression

Holding a moment

Blink and it's over

Turning and freeing us all

Where there's ruin, there's a flame burning brightly

Rising from the ash in a dance, swaying

as it gains new heights under dark skies

Singing a song filled with hope, of faith

casting the darkness behind it

Bearing a moment so we may witness

Turning and freeing us all

In your heart is the will of the Phoenix

                         (Future lingers while Past...)

head raised up to the sky

Soaring from the remains of an ending

                        (Folding and unfolding...)

with new reason to fly
