Cast a fire

For the shadows

That were dancing

under silver moonlight,

Deep within a forest

Out of mortals' sight



Let them dream,

Let them dance,

Let them breathe

Set them free

So may their souls  

Finally be at peace



Let them be,

Don't take away their hope

Give them one last chance

To feel the summer breeze on their skin,

To hear the birds singing

To gaze within each others' eyes,

laying their bodies on a meadow evergreen

With flowers of any kind

Observing the night-sky;

To catch a firefly on their first try

Just like the times when they were young



Erase their memories

From the past

When they were wounded

and left alone to die

by the ones they once

loved the most and

trusted with their lives.



Set down the fire,

For where their souls are headed

No pyre is needed



By light they came

By light shall fade
