Ashes In The Wind The wound will leave your heart Lost in the shadows again, Ashes in the wind; tearing it apart Death comes with so much pain. Alone in tears many doubts and fears, Calling clouds aching in the atmosphere. Awakened mind suppresses by snares Waiting with a chilling nightmare. In the wind calling your name A flame running away from sunshine Join progenitors to leave a sad re-frame When there is no more time. Your stars fade from this realm, And surrounds you with detach matters, Inside your heart, burns the lowest flame Stricken with the awful cries. When you are looking out in the rain There is another reflection of you Indivisible image looking deeper within For the courage to renew. A balm to heal Ashes in the wind The oil of myrrh with beauty and fragrance, Anoint friends ready for heaven to find, Beatitudes by prayers and penance.
