The Phoenix Calls the Order

by reminiscent-afterthought

They were lost and hopeless, and the phoenix brought them together and showed them the beacon of hope.

The Phoenix Calls the Order

1.

Was there such a beacon still burning
while the sky choked
on growing smoke?

But there was someone who believed,
believed enough to send their phoenix forth:
a treasure that could have spared him hence
his clouted fate

And maybe the phoenix did burn a path of destruction
as it flew, but they were in such dire need
that they followed, eyes stinging with ash

To the beacon that, so was said, burned
beyond the smoke.
