The Phoenix

The Phoenix

A Poem by Richard Mueller
"

Passioned renewed among the candle flames

"
Dying over the fire of little purpose 
Your passion slowly fades into darkness 
Birds of flame are but a myth and so 
To think that you'll renew unimaginable 
Little did you know that one day a match would strike 
Against the stones of your threshold like 
It did for me one long time ago way back then 
The feeling of retriubution among us men 
You are the phoenix.

I have to wonder, what do you mean by "Dying over the fire of little purpose"? I have a feeling you are trying to give a point, but I don't know what you are trying to illustrate.

This feels connected to 'Passion' the taste of the words no particularly given to the fact that there are repetitions but the overall tone. Lovely imagery as well. Starz
