do i honestly have time for that sort of thing?

A phoenix lies dying on a distant shore. A man comes upon her taking her last breaths in this world.

"Let me build you a pyre and restore your life." The man said.

"No, Let me pass from this life." She turns from him.

"What will the world be without wisdom and beauty? The light of the phoenix emblazoned in the sky." He said.

"The world can grow cold and die as I am doing now. It will be my last gift." She replied bitterly.

The man takes up the cold body of the phoenix and hold it closely to him.

"You have soared through the heavens." He told her and kissed her gently.

"But have never seen grace until I looked in your eyes." She replied gazing at his face.

"You have felt the rush of the winds surround and caress you."He said gently stroking her feathers.

"They are no match to the power and force of your touch." She answered closing her eyes.

"You have felt the warm kiss of the sun upon you. You have held it's very light inside you." He whispered.

"Your smile blazes brighter than a thousand suns. The light you give shine throughout an eternity. Your kisses warm the very core of my being." She said.

The warmth consumed them both in a glorius light that shone beyond the limits of the universe. From the ashes rose two birds of crimson color. And they still soar together for always and forever.

"My soul has found it's paradise with you"-KS
