Cascading Embers of Heart Driven Fire
Cascading Embers Of Heart Driven Fire
Unrepentant heart, its hot blood there spills
Sad dregs of immortal nurselings of desire
And winter's warm breath blows the woodland fires
Amongst the frozen trees and through the hills
Wanton weariness, invisible veil hides
Cascading embers of heart driven fire
Exploding storm flees to nothing it retires
Where dead emperor in agony resides
Black robe judges, their guilt forever play
Broken guitars without needed six strings
As death's hand taps as the naked ghost sings
In nirvana the prophet chose to stay.
Unrepentant heart, melody just right.
Saw truth, amidst the horrors of that night.
Robert J. Lindley, Jan. 26th, 1972
