I stared at the light blazing like unleashed dogs Curling across homes of the ****** among the dry shifting carpet Slithering up a spire of oak like a venomous snake Opening its jaws wide to swallow the miles of wood Glass like molten steel clawing deep into the brush The scream of a dying goddess who once towered over her seed The weeping around her fire alights there limbs Like a tornado with a heat of hell Then the rain cold biting angrily The gleaming beautiful hurtful lights hissing with anger Several moments later the lights retreat with a whimper And a new day shines again through grey skys

Ashes (Light Still Shines Here)
I stared at the light blazing like unleashed dogs Curling across homes of the ****** among the dry shifting carpet Slithering up a spire of oak like a venomous snake Opening its jaws wide to swallow the miles of wood Glass like molten steel clawing deep into the brush The scream of a dying goddess who once towered over her seed The weeping around her fire alights there limbs Like a tornado with a heat of hell Then the rain cold biting angrily The gleaming beautiful hurtful lights hissing with anger Several moments later the lights retreat with a whimper And a new day shines again through grey skys
