Laying In Fire

We swayed as black smoke filled every corner of the room 

We breathed it all in 

The ash hung low in the reflection

I can feel you like the cold mountain breeze 

We danced to the rhythm of the fire 

The glow of the orange brash stands above 

You can feel me like a rising wave of the sea 

They spoke, and the intricate flame twirled before us 

The last words to keep us true 

Hands extended, you grab on

Heavy fire, but we remember it all blue 

We rest as the amber clouds grow 

The sound of the morning to hold us over 

They spoke and yellow strands appeared 

A light touch, and we shine through holding our composure 

We’ll remember this in the distance...

Matches held high 

faded jeans and satin robe 

We try not to break 

Strong chest and delicate bones 

We laid in their line of fire 

Pulling it all down as the secrets began to grow 

All the questions they will demand 

The force of the blaze untamed 

We remain unburnt 

It's all there only for us to know.
