A Symbol of Rebirth

Zealous Frank 2000 (Nigeria)



An ethereal representation of immortality.
Of the classical mythology, a highlight unforgotten.
A powerful symbol of great manifestation,
Articulated in the depths of human imagination.

Through time and space, her glory endured,
An unrivaled beauty of strength and bravery.
The bird of paradise, belonging to no one,
An allusion to the goddess of longevity.

Your blazing flame, a sight to behold,
Guiding us through the darkness of the world.
Teach us, oh, magical creature,
To navigate through trials and tribulations.

Cultures contradicting as to its provenience.
A beautiful folklore composed by reality;
Symbolizing hope, renewal, and resilience,
Teaching humanity triumph over adversity.

From historic cultures to contemporary perspectives;
Her rebirth inspires the idea of metamorphosis,
Metaphorically compared to the divinity of Christ's resurrection,
Preaching hope and optimism to the lost.

Where art thou, oh great phoenix
The earth misses your presence and glory
But your lessons are yet to be forgotten
Etched in our memories for all eternity
