Once Ablaze...
By Zhylosa

The fire once ablaze,
Now only embers dying out,
Soon will be but ashes,
Ashes blown in the wind
With no direction or purpose.

Each chapter in life begins,
A moment frozen in time,
A simple memory, an internal photograph,
The story continues to play,
Ending as turning point.

The fire once ablaze,
Now only embers dying out,
Soon will be but ashes,
Ashes blown in the wind
With no direction or purpose.

Time does not stop,
Time will not pause,
I never want to forget,
What has lead me to where I am,
Or what has made me who I am.

The fire once ablaze,
Now only embers dying out,
Soon will be but ashes,
Ashes blown in the wind
With no direction or purpose.

Will the wind catch the ember,
Lighting a new chapter of life,
Or are ashes my destiny,
To ride the wind,
Until a fire is struck within.
