How it swirls and billows in the air
unpredictable its course and flow
It floats in joy and despair
without knowing where it will go
It raises falling in the breeze it drifts
wood burning smell near
Evaporated solid coal shifts
dissolving thoughts once dear
Burning dreams release their smoke
from emotions dying ember
Glowing coals orange stain I poke
burn red with heat from what I remember
