Smoke of dreams

sorenbarrett

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

    Purging the dross?

    • sorenbarrett

      Thanks for the read and question. I suppose that smoke is a type of dross that is purged,
