Ashes to dust

A frozen moment, captured forever

The gods smile, making time stop

I wait here separated, but together

Drowning in the cinders of a burnt bridge

Flashbacks

Rusty stitching on fine tapestry,

Consumed in anger

It’s all coming undone



This is the moment when the soul realises

You gasp and find the sound stolen from you

A part of you feels homeless

Trapped in the skin you’re in



Gently, as the heartbeats melt

And all those tears evaporate

Residue of shadows

Nothing to defend

Only a feeling remains

From ashes and dust

A rising phoenix

Foe and friend alike

The struggle ends

As we equal our egos



Only to discover

You were here all along

Inside me

My real self

The one I thought lost
