ASHES IN THE SKY

A BIT OF BURNING LOVE

Searching through the ashes

Of the memory of my past.

I found a dying ember

Of a love I hoped would last.

 

Tried to make it glow again,

But no matter how I tried

It kept on getting colder

Till it finally died.

 

Now as I sift through

These ashes cold and gray

My mind starts to ponder

As to what I want to say

 

There once was a raging fire

Inside our bodies it did burn

Thought it would burn for ever

But now a lesson we did learn

 

Our passion that we had

Flowed both day and night

But there were some problems

That were hidden out of sight

 

Life styles that were different

Thought we could handle some

But when they raised their head

Just to many too overcome

 

So now the wind is blowing

Those ashes in the sky

Both of us now realize

That it's time to say goodby .

Death, the great and final goodbye. You have the spirit of a medieval minstrel.
