First, there was one, who stood all alone Emblazoned with fire, from ashes she'd grown Aloft and spreading inspiring words new Others soon heard and one became two Two shedding light with power and glee Ablaze in the night as two became three A trio of hope, re-opened love's door More were inspired and three became four Four sang the song that lifted all higher More joined the throng, became phoenix choir Inspired by write of verse and of prose The phoenix choir swells it just grows and grows Soon there's enough for full phoenix wing Then they'll rise up to soar and to sing Filling the void with liberty, light The one near destroyed, leads phoenix in flight < !signature--> Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life.

Kethry love, Oh the wonder, oh the joy, oh how much I love this. It sings to me dear heart, it sings of hope and fire, and I see it as we all soar. The Sisterhood of the Phoenix are we. All those who aren't are awed but the fire, and i just see the beauty of it. Wonderful love this is utterly utterly spectacular. Take care love Slushy fly high fly free but always with me Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Phoenix Phalanx, fall in (not into the pond sillies) stand tall, chest out (Sven you can probably leave yours where it is) sing loud (ewww I forgot I sing like a troll, maybe just the chorus) be proud! You are the Phoenix Phalanx and I thank you each one for your spirit and inspiration that allowed me to write this. fall out (not down, oh you clowns!) write on, proud and strong Kethry Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life.
