Ash

Where lie the shattered thoughts and bones we have let die?
Uncover the lost, unconscious minds we buried in the void.
Like rocks that circle the storming seas, they've been ground to fading dust,
but hidden in the depths of darkness are memories left behind.
Remember with all strength and courage to revive the ones who died,
pay respect to ancient kindnesses and forgotten earthly love.
If a blizzard of ash and shadow kidnaps our sunlight,
we'll rekindle the fire in our minds for the lives of the ones we've lost.

  1. Oooooo, I like this one a lot. Very thoughtful, as anything you ever write is, and I like the imagery that your wordage created. Especially, “shattered thoughts and bones we have let die” and “they've been ground to fading dust”. It is really interesting to try and see these things in my mind and YAY you posted a poem :D
