Gumpelthwomp and Giggazzibar stood back to back, determined to hold on as long as they could for each other. I was in Gumpel’s hand, and while I was above the crowd of monsters, I felt no sense of safety. Any moment the beasts would be upon us. Their gnashing teeth made me shudder, and the real worry that they might chew upon my live body made me want to vomit.
My Phoenix Journey, Burning the Old and Birthing the New
Sleeping, holding
And always choosing
Burning fastly
New and renewing
Steady now
Young fire bird
All forms changing
Nothing new here
