Stir the ashes


As castle walls went up and morals collapsed
Time stood still as stone
The shadows froze upon the fields of grass
While the sun laid waste in a tyrant’s dream…

The seas turned to mud
The mountains to sand
Desires stolen and sold at town square
While sins were forgiven for pennies…

Hope-starved and without love
Many gave in to emptiness
And stepped to the edge of the great wall
Without feathers…to death, they soared…

I watched in silent agony
As the moon slowly fell from the sky
My soul grew bitter and cold
Anguish filling my cup.

I prayed for the Great Spirit to listen
And return the child of inspiration.
The empty souls of mankind
Need a seed to nurture…

We need love to have hope…
We need hope to have faith…
We need faith to once again love…
Let the phoenix arise…
