out of darkness
His love brings redemption
to my shattered soul —
as phoenix’ rises from ashes
singed by God’s Splendid Sun

Author Notes
What does phoenix represent in Bible? after ancient Rome and with the rise of Christianity, the symbolism of the phoenix is the immortal soul, and Christ's Resurrection.
"Direct your passion with reason, that your passion may live through its own daily resurrection, and like the phoenix rises above its own ashes." -- Khalil Gibran, Lebanese-American writer, poet and visual artist
KAKEKOTOBA (PIVOT WORD): is a word in Japanese court poetry that has two meanings and thus create the possibility of multiple readings of the word and poem. It uses poetic devices (personification, alliteration, metaphor, imagery, juxtaposition, etc. The form is 31 SYLLABLES OR LESS IN FIVE LINES. The PIVOT poetic device is like hanging words building a bridge between two images. Better translated as: PUN is a word play, words with a double meaning, very much like the haiku and senryu KIGO.kake kotoba wikipedia kakekotoba examples
