What do you think this poem is about?

A Phoenix Bird

A dream burns within a dream
In springtime, I saw how butterflies unclog her wings!
Aye, I stretched to grasp goatish love
I mislaid all my known ways for thee

New destiny is always wandering me,
One straight path to another meandering path-
As river flows from waterfall to ocean-
A twilight horizon to another dark horizon

Still I heard the very fast,
Vicious passing sound of my dream darling
My wounded orphan dream,
threw at recycle bin repeatedly-

Recycling- soul forces attract love's gravity,
twist heart and soul- again and again
Still strain to resurrect as a phoenix bird-

Poet's Notes about The Poem

Recycling- soul forces attract love's gravity,

Still strain to resurrect as a phoenix bird-
