Watch.
Watch as all you have believed
Becomes ashes in your hand
To be blown away
At the faintest breath

The fire roaring
At the moment of ecstasy
Reduced
To nothing more than ash.

What will you do?
When life's embers
Have died out in your heart
Will you remember me?
Spare a thought for the past long forgotten?
I once was your light
Love, compassion, freedom
Spurned by fear and anger
The flames of hatred burned ever brighter
Cast within the shadows of your heart.

You turned away from the voice inside yourself
And now it is too far gone
I
Am too far gone.
And all thats left is ash upon the wind.
