Nightmare/Daydream
By themasterhunter
Light spills from an opening,
and drops
falling in the shape of a bird
and catching fire
the Phoenix of legend; I think.
an oddity of unchangability.
and from its dark and probing eye,
a tear.
Beautiful, Graceful, Prismatic
in the fall.
a crystal of contained simplistic
pure form
and dreadfully, and slowly
shattering
Into the gaping maw of war.
A light in the distance,
growing bright and chaotic.
Consuming the waste corpses
of dissatisfaction.
The tear of the Phoenix,
cleansing, yes.
The smoke of its passing is tainted,
black with the small bones of a child.
Passing into the sky,
Giving back in water
what was taken in flames.
Mother earth is scarred now,
flesh seared and children churned.
A watcher in fields of white,
called by many names.
A tear in his eye for the Phoenix.
Another on his cheek for the broken.
