The Phoenix

I possess the fire of a dying phoenix

Red with rage

Orange with understanding

Yellow with remembrance

I have died and turned to ash

Grey with depression

Black with despair

White with hope

From the ashes, I have risen

Reborn like a phoenix

Though the cool dark colors of my past

To the bright warm colors of my future

I possess the fire of a reborn phoenix

Red with passion

Orange with respect

Yellow with delight

I am alive with color

I am the Phoenix.
