A/N: The original version of this poem 'phoenix' is © of Laura Sloane…

On the twelfth day, legend holds

A mythical boy with hair of bright gold

Will at sunrise be reborn

When evil has triumphed and the world is torn.

Out of the darkness it is said he will rise

To soar beyond the silvered skies

And in the light of that single day

His joy will light his futures way.

When heroes are few and innocents are none

His life will herald the rising sun

For concealed in the span of his mighty dreams

A box of treasures that only time brings.

When embittered people scream their fury of life

When times of peace become times of strife

The fruits of his labors will be called forth

Spreading harmony from the East to the North.

When sun and moon meet in the skies

Legend tells that the boy should die

But his dreams give him strength and evil's bane

Will live on to give hope to the world again.
