Ashes

Ashes 

 

From the ashes of a burnt out zone, 

An ember a glow, 

Ignition of o sign of life, 

As a flame starts to show, 

Fueled by oxygen as its true colour starts to warm, 

A flame bursts into life, 

Keen to remain, 

Flame came back to life from a traumatic past, 

Burning bright with a desire to remain a light, 

A warming glow to show it’s still alive, 

Keen to share it’s heat in order to socialise, 

Hoping that others will fuel its desire to survive, 

A flame to grow for all to see, 

A beacon to all lost souls to give them hope when times get cold, 

If they end up in the burnt out zone, 

It’s so cold in the burnt out zone, 

Walking around with your head hanging low, 

All alone, 

Cold in the burnt out zone, 

Searching for a sign,  

To ignite a spark, 

to create a flame.
