Gone

 Logs of years burnt in fire

Chard ash of desire

Rings of growth peeled away

By visiting flaming wings that can not stay

Whispering smoke on winds, feathers' down blown

Cast gray shadows on cold stone

Reflections of ephemeral love on loan

Ransomed by a martyr's moan

Love grown lifeless and hard trapped in stone as the once passionate embers diminish and float on tomorrow’s breeze

is this a reference to your previous poem reflections? what a deep and passionate expression. i can't say anything else. i loved the natural flow of the rhymes, absolutely professional

[Soren]

You are too kind my friend. As it was written shortly after the poem Reflections it may certainly carry some of theat with it but there was no intention to do so. I appreciate greatly your most kind words
