Phoenix


I saw you today and you were different. There was something about the way you moved. Was it the way you tilted your head? It could have been a difference in your smile. The eyes weren't so sad. Was it happiness which made you different?

I saw you today and you had a sparkle in your eye. It was fleeting but the sparkle ignited for a moment. Bursting forth from your iris like the phoenix. It represented hope and expectation. It spoke of light extinguishing darkness. It ushered in fiery longing to quash pessimism. It rose forth, spreading its wings majestically.

I saw you today and I smiled. I also wanted to cry because it was lovely to see you smile when looking at your reflection.

My reflection.
