On death, rebirth, and possibility

He rises from the mountains of ash
Wings afire
Six tail feathers like wisps of fire slither beneath him
His dark body is like the smoke that follows him
His bright eyes burn with knowing
He reminds you of the things that must be burned away
Yet also of the gift of that burning
While a death for some, the fire opens space for new life
As he rose from the ashes, so will new growth
With the ferocity of life and its resilience
With the truth of what is
Even in the ashes, there is possibility
Behind the ferocity there is space for new beginning
Do you have the courage to see what lies in his wake?
