Phoenix Song

Baby swaddled-covered-cradled in his sleep
In blankets colored-crayons-scribbled quilted-dream
Blue like a robin's egg, yellow like the sun
His fingers holding fingers-crumbling scattered-ground
Feet were tracking mud the floor crickets-sound
Brown like a wooden doorstep, yellow like the sun
There is a fire in the sky

The earth breathes in the warm-woolen air
The leaves spin around and the crickets die away
Then she returns
The land is alive again, alive

Phoenix in the ashes rising from the flames
An alter made of sticks and splintered-bones we made
Red like a new-born apple, yellow like the sun
Sprouting-buzzing-glimmer-growing multitude of spring
Cadence-clearing field of crickets begin just to sing
Green like the mallard's feathers, yellow like the sun
There is a fire in the sky

Rivers run, work is done, rivers run, work is done
