Poem – The Phoenix who survived
Rising from the ashes, you spread your wings to fly
Reaching now for those final dreams, belief will never die
Beautiful and so glorious, the eternal bird of fire
Soaring up into the sun, leaving behind the pyre
Dreams are now your destiny; reach with all your might
You’re a powerful inferno, ablaze and in full flight
Yesterday is over, today has just begun
The sky is now your playground your home is now the sun
Destiny is in your grasp, forget the doubts and fears
Your flame will burn eternally for all remaining years
There will be times of doubt, and moments of pure sorrow
But one thing that is ever true, you’re the angel of tomorrow
Fantastic poem about the phoenix, really awesome!
greatest poem ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you!
Hi Dean,
My name is Lainy and I am a complimentary therapist about to launch a therapy service called Phoenix Therapies . I would like to use the first two lines of your poem on my literature as they capture the spirit of rebirth and hope that the Phoenix symbolises.What do you think ?
Cheers Lainy
Of course you can.
Who wrote this poem? You should write your name at the bottom
I did but you can find my name fairly easily from the book title on the right menu
Wondering if I could use this text in a choral piece. Please email if you’re interested in allowing me to.
Sure. Go ahead

[...] Wikipedia tells me ' a phoenix is a long-lived bird that is cyclically regenerated or reborn. Associated with the sun, a phoenix obtains new life by arising from the ashes of its predecessor'. In your case Cooper is the new pup's predecessor, his passing having left a space for another dobie. Phoenix is also associated with long life. Here's a lovely poem called 'The Phoenix who survived' by Dean Fraser-Phillips: Rising from the ashes, you spread your wings tofly Reaching now for those final dreams,belief will never die Beautiful andsoglorious, the eternal bird offire Soaringup intothe sun,leaving behind the pyre Dreams are now your destiny;reach with all your might You’re a powerful inferno,ablaze andinfull flight Yesterday isover,todayhasjustbegun The sky is now your playground your home is now the sun Destiny isinyour grasp,forgetthe doubts and fears Your flame will burneternallyfor all remaining years There will be times of doubt, andmomentsofpure sorrow But one thing thatisever true, you’re the angel oftomorrow Poem – The Phoenix who survived – Deanthebard | Deanthebard [...]
I wanted to make sure you didn’t mind that I used your poem to attached to a photo I took of a cloud that looked like a phoenix. I love phoenix’s (?) and when I needed to believe in a brighter tomorrow, a friend sent me that exact photo you have used. Here is the link to the photo I took, I have names you as poet, but if you are unhappy about me using your poem, I will gladly edit the photo and remove it. http://365project.org/skygirl/365
Loved the photo Leanne! Sure you can use it.
Wonderful poem! Could I use this poem for my English course? My teacher wants us to introduce a poem for the class. Becuase the topic is ” life and death”. I think phoenix will be one of the bests to use.
of course you can
May I please use this poem for my project in Drama? If not, I shan’t bother you. c:
Sure!
