    A rise of the fire, like a phoenix it can never truly expire

    Your brevity is stunning; the form is new to me. I did consider doing a Western-themed haibun, but I've traveled the SW so extensively, I had to personalize it; smile.

    I imagine myself in the Arizona desert, seeing the glow of Phoenix fill the distant night sky. Perfect metaphor.

    Love the simplicity of the form
    love the beauty of the words

    and any time you use the word "rejuvenate," you've got me hooked!

      smiling - just saying the word rejuvenate makes one feel lighter in some way.
