A Fire Within
A fire dreams inside a pit
Cosy as it starts to glow
Matching the fire burning within
Seeping in the warmth it throws.
Her flames now reflecting in my eyes
Amber coloured hot ribbons of light
The sparks now fly, with crackling sounds
The wind helping it, in it’s crazy dance
The need to leap and fly
The embers with destructive strokes
Landing close to flaming wood
The glow slowly dying out with billowing smoke
The dreams it stole, now rising up
From the darkness of my soul
Now burnt to ashes, a silver grey
Left warm and silent on the ground.
