Chosen by Sun god
Joyful bird sings Sun’s glory
Living eternal
Colorful plumage
Full tail of gold and scarlet
Preparing for fate
Mythical phoenix
Reborn from its own ashes
Anew to relive

Beautifully conceived and expressed. The idea of a spiritual life cycle for the phoenix is a new twist for me. I enjoyed reading this.
