Burning fire

Burning fire, red tongues licking

Crackling heat, crimson flicking

Earth, dust and ashes form a pyre

flames of forgiveness growing higher

I sit, I scream, I cry and I shout

...Every tear I shed won't put this fire out

You have gone, somewhere else you dwell

Pile of burning cinders, nothing but a shell

Feel the peaceful spirit birds and trees

Nature seems to calm me, sudden breeze

then I stop, think and I start to smile

Cosmic meeting was all worth while

I lay here hours till break of dawn

Comforted white widow, silent morn

Love is strong, our spirits will greet

different time and place, again we'll meet

True love, your beauty rare thing to find

close my eyes you're inside my mind

burning fire, red tongues flicking

Crackling heat, crimson flicking

Gone is the pain, as I bathe in glory

For having you dear, in my life story
