Descent

She roars in silence, shrieking rainbows
across dozing skies startled
fish belly white from daybreak.
Creatures half awakened, unexpectant
of visitation, stare wide eyed against
her headlamp of fitful fury, ruthless
rattled from deepest dawn slumber
by the wild, witless abandon
of her quest.
She trumpets wordless, maelstrom
of phoenix tears streaming from
recent annihilation.
Till sun breaks as a yolk of golden
consolation as she descends.
She floats heavy, flowing plumes trailing
scent of jasmine, and dripping ash
to mutely mark the well worn
passages of recurrent resurrection.

This is beautiful.
This is beautiful. Wonderfully flowing words and rhymes that work brilliantly. I think this is your best poem yet.
