Sometimes Phoenix - Kings Kaleidoscope

Ashes of potential

I’m afraid to let them down

Inconsistent wonder

I will die to keep this crown

Tell me just one thing

Will I always measure my weight in gold?

When I am an old king

Will I be alone in my castle cold?

Just a sometimes phoenix

Burning through castles of clouds

Just a sometimes phoenix

Above or below, I am alone here

Alone here

Destined to be distant

I’ll come home when I’m complete

I’m finishing my statues

I’m sculpting all my selfish dreams

Tell me just one thing

Will I always measure my weight in gold?

When I am an old king

Will I be alone in my castle cold?

Just a sometimes phoenix

Burning through castles of clouds

Just a sometimes phoenix

Above or below, I am alone here

I’m soaring now, adrift in sound

The silence grows, it fills my soul

I miss my home, I miss myself

I want to land, I want to be

But I can’t escape

Aching with pride

Castles of clouds

I need to climb

Out of control

Spiraling dive

Flames in a flash

Burning the sky

Cold from the crash

Grounded but free

Embers of birth

Rising in me

Cold from the crash

Humbled and free

A witness to your

Pure poetry
