phoenix

Crystals hang on fairy wings
Her breathing shallow as the day begins
Sun pale and dims to frosty sky
Tears frozen to faces who lie

She sits atop a rock, cold
White and brown ground a blur
Leaves, lifeless, stiff
Reminders of lost memories

Isis stumbles onto forest floor
Drops of green where death stood before
A phoenix erupts, sky red in birth
Fairies sway to the hum of mother earth
