"Crystals"

O Phoenix,
Why do you cry,
In the dead of night?
In the dead of night,
When the pale moon shines
Silver light upon the land,
And when
The full moon
Mirrors off the water,
Its image rippled?
You, dear Phoenix,
Sit by the water's edge,
Your feet
Lightly dug
Into the soft sand.
Your head
Is bent downwards,
As if the images
Of life
Are too much to bear.
Crystals drip
From your
Half-closed eyelids,
Falling into the water
With a plop,
Distorting the image
Of the moon
Even more.
Why Phoenix,
Why do you spend
Your time here,
When you could
Be flying,
Flying for eternity
Among the stars?
Leave the water,
Dear Phoenix,
Leave the water
For someone else.
Let some other creature
Drip those crystals for you.
Go on now,
Go on and live your life,
Spreading your wildfire
Among the land.
Fly on, Phoenix,
Leave your Crystals behind.

Err...kind of sappy don't you think? Ah well...
