Matthew Anish Poet Blank verse

Smoke From a Fire

Move quickly 
towards your goal
    before your vision 
is 
  blocked 
  by the smoke from a fire
        the air becomes 
  filled with dark particles
let
the 
    fire burn itself out
 You can wait 
               in a clearing 
                       until it does
     Don't inhale too much of the smoke!
The stony mountains 
            loom ahead of us
    Let's climb to new heights
and leave burning embers
     behind us
If by chance we meet 
on the road
  Then together we can 
    watch wisps of smoke
  from a 
     fire 
which once burned brightly 
     and is now
   a pile of ashes 
   something we conquered 
long ago 
  Something which lives on 
  at the edge of our dreams
     We need fresh air to breathe!
