Redemption

Death was a beautiful release

She could no longer bear the hands of the enemy

As she prepared to unwind, she gathered her materials to build her nest

Yes, it would seem like an eternity

A thousand years of sleep and peace,

all the while strengthening her body to fight her oppressor

The years rolled by, and some wondered if she would ever awaken

Some gave up hope, and others watched patiently ready to see her soar

The cycle came to an end

it was her time to rise up

she ascended from her nest of flames

painting the sky with beautiful shades of red and purple

She alerted the people with her cry

it was said that her cry was that of a beautiful song

in sync with the times at hand

She was ready now more than ever

to take back what the enemy had stolen
