heat

today I burned a lifetime of memories..

I looked up into the tress and saw the memories raining down on to my face

Some still red, still to bring tears to my eyes.

But then a thick gust came

And the memories blew off toward a pink sunset

And the smell stung my nose, and the smoke burnt my eyes

And my lips are chapped, tingling

the colors of life are turned to black and white

a flame diminishes

but with the diminish of this flame


Another has just began



And feeds me burning hope





Until my fire, too , is gone with the wind.
