Song of the Radiant Phoenix

Oscar Auliq-Ice 1994 (Port Elizabeth)



Celebrate, O stars and sunbeams,
and all that glows in the brilliant sky:
my girl's phoenix has risen—
the phoenix, the luminary of my girl,
whom she cherished as the dawn does the day.
For it shone brighter than gold,
illuminating her soul, mirroring her heart's glow,
never drifting too far, always by her side,
its vibrant dance lighting up her world,
singing songs of hope and endless day.
Now, it soars towards the vast expanse,
to realms where myths and legends play.
Shine on, you beacon of eternal flame,
who turns night to radiant day.
You've gifted us a dazzling dream,
Oh blessed birth! Oh majestic phoenix!
For through your grace, my girl's eyes,
sparkle with dreams and endless wonder.
