Dedicated to Kari and Paula two very important of my phoenix sisters, who both are celebrating fantastic achievements this weekend.

With love and eternal thanks girls  

Wings of Fire, The Phoenix Dance

We were once all chained to the earth here
Held down with despair and mindless fear
But the chains were cut and now we're free
My sisters of the phoenix fly high with me
We shoot into the heavens spraying fire
And we can see the envy feel your desire
We have been held down for far too long
Now hear us sing this our phoenix song

Where once the sky held darkness and sighs
There's now us firing the air, shining the skies
Performing aerial acrobatics weaving the light
We are pure fire power, feel our awed delight
See our wings of fire grow brighter, then flare
This is our wonder, these our spirits we share
You didn't understand our real need to soar
Never will we be restrained, captives never more

Our spirits soar, now higher we will fly
Delighting in our aerial artistry our wings sigh
We tease the sky dancing in our fearless flight
Tasting the champagne air in gulps of light
How we enliven and flirt with the deep sky
And our wings light up the air as there we fly
Here the Sisterhood of the Phoenix now rule
We learnt the how of flight within pains school

We know you're awed by our incandescence
For too long we held back our sheer brilliance
Hiding our lights away to prevent envy's pout
Finally we can't deny ourselves we've let it out
Flames shedding in glorious heated white fire
We spiral and dance in mirth and joys' desire
We the sisters of the phoenix will be ever true
To our faith, loves hope and to each other too


Marsha

Marsha, with shy blush, I take your hand, and Paula's hand, and dance in a ring of delight...this is awesome young lady...you have outdone yourself! This is taking a place of honor in [guess where] my library!

Hugs to you and your pen...and I SEE you shaking those tailfeathers!

Kari love, see I can stretch when it's worthwhile, and I know you never doubt my ability. (It's me that does that,) but the effort this took was worth it.
Take care love
                 and congratulations again

Paula love, no I'll get better, as I said the worlds my lobster now dear heart. And we are beautiful, no wonder phoenixes provoke envy, if I was tied to the ground and looked up and saw us cavorting in the sky I'd be envious too. And as for your graceful spirals love, even I feel a tad envious. But as long as you teach me that elegant back flip, I'll not repine.
Take care love as always

Out of the ashes, and up from the fire...
She rises in spirit, of heart and desire...
A sister called Marsha, all beauty and grace...
a most needed Phoenix in Passion's own place...

Well done, big sister....

Sven love, they are worth the effort dear heart as are you too. And I did put a little effort into it, so I'm glad it shows. So join us love, you know shooting into the heavens is bound to be exhilarating. And the air up here tastes soooooooo good
Take care love and thanks always
             Mushy
                
Lil sis love, thank you so much sweetie, you knew I wouldn't be down for long I know.
Take care kid  
                 Mushy
                    
Kit love, thank you truly, it's all down to a new dose of PMA, and about time i hear the world sigh. Kari and Paula, both deserved my best efforts so I decided to shake my tail feathers and get efforting.  
Take care love
                 Mushy
                    
Margie love, thank you so very very much, for so many things, and for gifting me with my heart again dear heart. For before I came here, I was lost and had tucked my heart so far away because it had been broken far too many times. I didn't want to feel anymore, but if you don't feel, you miss far more than you gain. Thank you love always
Take care love
                    Mushy
                      
Kethry love, I will always have a spare hand for you dear heart, did you have to ask?? NO you're right, you didn't!! Now everyone will say I'm selfish because I only offered you my hand, don't they know I'm the wind beneath your wings.   You will always fly with the sister dear heart, always!
Take care love
                 Slushy
                    
Tracie love, thank you so very very muchly, I certainly appreciate it. But it is really in honour of all the Sisterhood of the Phoenix, and we have some men members, who are honorary women.
Take care as always love
              Mushy
                MM
                  
Angel in flight, what a delightful name, and I'm so pleased you could see the visual element. Thank you so very much
Take care
              Marsha
                  
LL love, thank you so very muchly, of course we'll take you with us, the air will be alight with our brilliance, we shall live on air, and sup on nectar.
So pleased you like it, I'm quite fond of this one, but then seeing as it was written for two very special people it should be extra special.
Take care love
