phoenix

I've seen the world in sparkling shades,
an effervescent masquerade.
These candy box people
in candy box rows,
they sway and they glow
like the sheen 'cross the spread
of the moth speckled sky
and I see you collapse, that look in your eye.
I see how you feel and I know how you feel,
and I know that you're stone full of darkness, not light.
And you'll break you apart
with the fear in your heart,
but then how you'll glitter, and oh what a sight!
when you rise from the ashes,
a phoenix in flight.
