Embers

Warm heat washed your face

Burning wood colored the ground

Blowing embers graffiti the black night

The red, yellow, and orange

Birthed a new age of emotion

One that replaced old sorrows

On this land

With these people

There is a home

Enjoy it while you can

Because don’t let the heat fool you

This warmth is only temporary

But for now escape

To an imaginary distant world

Fly away with those burning embers
