When fire burns claiming us all
We bare the marks as ashes fall
Leaving a path of warning, call
Baring the marks as ashes fall
We wash the wound and cover all
Ashamed to show where ashes fell
Deny the pain of the assault
Surprised the healing, healed so well
We learned to walk because we crawled
The lies of ashes were all false
A welcomed calm ore us befalls
As we stood washed, as ashes fell
Emotionally we rise and fall
Content to let the ashes fall
Knocking down the doors and walls
Now welcoming ash through it all
No longer pressed made to feel small
Because we let the ashes fall

Llion the Brave Version 2
Her screams diminished as Llion was dragged away from the cell. The stench in the corridor was less but there was still damp, decay, defecation, death. His feet dragged, like a raggedy puppet, the guard either side of him holding him fast. He could feel their individual fingers digging into his scant flesh, leaving their impression on his bones.

Rough times are hard to shred; you give it all in this piece. Heartfelt, strong, and to me, an emotionally charged poem.
This was extremely powerful! Well done
That's the way we should let our problems be just let them fall and what happens happens
''Deny the pain of the assault" My favorite line.
