Mo's Manic Monday - Sun
Posted: Monday, April 23, 2007 by Travis Cody in
Welcome to another Manic Monday with Morgen. Don't forget to visit MM HQ at It's A Blog Eat Blog World.
Today's word is Sun.
I've chosen a poem. I actually posted this when I first started blogging.
But, I think that this is a worthy piece to repeat. It fits my thoughts about last week's events. It speaks of sadness, and offers hope. Unspeakable tragedy may bring us low. But we have the power to rise again. We owe it to ourselves and to the memory of those lost to continue and to find our hope and our strength to live.
PHOENIX
He sat
And gazed with tired eye
Upon a sight born of
Nature's first breath
Rolling playful ocean
Sun bathed sky of infinite motion
Forested garden, hawk's dominion
He breathed
Only to choke on mists
Set astir by raven's
Feathered wing
Fighting boundless beauty
Turning from ageless bounty
Dead to wondrous divinity
He burned
Did the phoenix
And from the dusted ash arose
In timeless splendor to eternity
