Burning Dreams

poetboy123

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

    Brilliant done, your words always feels so settling no matter the vibration they are in.
    There was a wonderful balance to this
