I see fire
Rising from the funeral pyre
Watching the smoke waft into the air
Creating shapes and forms
of once what was there
The fire burning an unnatural way
Searing into my soul
Saying goodbye
To what was once new now old
Ten years past
The flames rise higher
The smoke thicker
The love that once was
Burns the night sky
No longer trying to come back
Knowing defeat it succumbs to the fire
Sparking a new flame
Somewhere in the soul hidden deep
The smoke rising to the heavens
Upon the stars wishes meet
the love of old gone in the ash
A new love now burns
The heavens clash
Raining down embers of long ago past
Sparking anew the hearts of two
Out with the old....fate chooses to bring new.
