Phoenix

As it lowers itself...I know the time as come...

I feel like I'm flying. My arms are spread wide like the wings of a magnificent bird preparing itself to swoop down at catch its prey. Wind picks up the sand at my feet and sends it gliding through the air, nipping at my unclothed legs. But the stinging sensation is a good pain, one that distracts you from anything that's going through your mind. My hair is whipping out behind me, orange wisps ablaze with colour. I quickly shut my eyes tight, letting the kaleidoscopic images drift through my visions.

When I open them again all I can see is the desert landscape, stretching for miles lit by the bright, luminescent glow of and ever burning fire. The sun seems to rest upon a dune, snuggling itself up to the cozy, heated sand. As it slowly lowers itself into the horizon I realize I know that the time has come.

I pick up my feet, sending more sand spiraling through the air behind me. My hands swing by my sides and I squint my eyes, running towards the horizon, towards the radiant gleam of the brilliant star.

For it is time.

It is time to chase the sun.

Beautiful imagery! You've done a great job. But I have a question: shouldn't the title be "Phoenix"?

You could perhaps call it 'Pheonix'? It is very well written.
