Ashes To Ashes

A Beckoning finger glides her flight tasting the wind, to gather insight Lifting her arms tendril-ed to light drifting in feeling, is darkness and fright Soaring to plains,knights had fought in helmets and headstones her passion is wrought A Flaming phoenix,re-birthed no more A splendor embers to ash on the floor Wizards are slain and witches dispelled majestic they hung, to final death knells Screams of mercy,rip into heart calling the magic, dirt caged in part Exquisite white witch dripping with love trembling her spirit, watched from above Releasing her power A dragon breath pales kaleidoscoped magic, lifting dark veils Four elements drawn earth,wind and fire water poured forth, soaking a pyre Earth stamped evil beneath his sin wind settled hell, the flames did rescind Dusted of tragedy,on hallowed ground sucking black magic, in gasps that resound Echoing Demons,soaking with shame anviled to stone, now have no name Fire burnt mercy back into heart myths of history, now live the past Drifting in peace,a witch found rest laying her head, is all she requests
