Flee the Fire
Hear through ears of turbulent change,
Taste with crackling desire
Feel the room exhale in a sigh
with your senses akin to the fire
Straddle your gait as you pull in the reigns
Footsteps singed black by the floor
Smoke vision cleans you, a soul polish shine
of ashes to dust evermore
Walls aching now and a moment from falling
Pregnant clouds not quick enough in their calling
Sky like the anger of a woman red scorned
Sagging floor licked in it's blisters forlorned
Sap all your strength as you fall to your knees
Heavy air settles your breath
Fly through your life an instant with ease
like the infinite rattle of death
You were just sleeping and dreaming of warmth
engulfed in the yearning to pray
Burst open the door to be instantly cooled
in the arms of your life, a new day...
