bones afire
Begging for the coolness of ash
Smeared boldly on the face of the defeated
Bravely tired
As we prepare the race to be completed
bones afire
Longing to rise and flit upon the breeze
Such yearning draws falling, to find my knees
A funeral pyre
A sacrament to celebrate release
bones afire
Longing for the first of what’s to come
Healing appears in many different forms
A wild fire
To cleanse the heart with power of the sun
bones afire
Begging to evolve and start a final run
Knowing now, we’ve only just begun
Spirit for hire
The ending a beginning, never done
bones afire
Resignation brings a gentle peace
A satisfying end of bits of me
A holy mire
Salvation emerges from a sacred place
bones afire
Begging for the coolness of ash
