A hot arid wind blew across the desert
Smoke rising from the burnt debris
Cast a long shadow for all to see
Rising from the adversity
A form took shape
Slowly the ascent began
The wing span was great
Struggling at first, undaunted
She continued to climb
Higher and higher
Till full vision showed the sight of
The Phoenix Rising
