Gone

sorenbarrett

Logs of years burnt in fire
Chard ash of desire
Rings of growth peeled away
By visiting flaming wings that can not stay
Whispering smoke on winds, feathers' down blown
Cast gray shadows on cold stone
Reflections of ephemeral love on loan
Ransomed by a martyr's moan

              I see the wishful longing for something incredibly important, I don't know why, but I always lean towards a home, not to have been lost. Absolutely beautiful poetry dear sorrenbarret šŸŒ¹

                                    Sometimes I believe all love is ephemeral. Your hesitation is timely, appropriate. Nice.
