The Death of a Phoenix
Born from the dead
From closed eyes
From the glittering ashes of demise
A life ends and another begins
The cycle is eternal, it never ends
Soaring above seas, its eyes twinkling with the fiery glow of immortality
But like all things terrifying and beautiful when they reach life's edge
It reposes in Death's gentle arms
And rests its weathered, blistered wings upon his iridescent purple cloak
Struggle, there is none
There's merely the serene presence of its once delicate , yet formidable soul
Ethereal, however gruesomely hellish form
It utters its farewells to the dainty world it knew
To the sun
To the sea
To the sky that bore it
Ready to experience life all over again with all its glorious chaos and misery.

This poem is narrating the death of the mythological creature, the phoenix.
I am a huge admirer of greek mythology , so writing this poem was extremely amusing.
I genuinely hope that you enjoy it.
