Light a dream afire
To let the ashes give birth to another
Watch the flames feed upon its dying corpse
Breathing out its flesh, transforms and warps
Into the sky, a silent silver smoke
Dredging upwards, fading like an aged memory
Discard the dreams from which you have awoke
Losing their color, losing their majesty
The embers grow cold
Leaving a story untold
Until the ashes settle
Reborn upon new mettle
Nestled into sleep
A kindled heart and a duty to keep
