Burning eyes shimmer brightly
like fireflies in the blackest night
Coals glowing hot,
burning down to remnants of the passion for living
A cold wind blowing will extinguish the small flame
huddled against the growing darkness

Sparks flash, rekindling flames
bringing forth new life
The phoenix rises brilliantly from
charred coal and burnt ash
Its fiery wings bring comfort
to the candles gathered 'round
Its burning eyes shimmer brightly
like fireflies in the blackest night
