Skydance

She is my fire,

Feeding, burning, yearning.

She sways with each gentle breath,

Like kindred timbers.

She dances across my eyes;

A reflection refusing to fade.

The world douses her flame,

Trying to extinguish all we have built.

Her embers scattered into the wind,

Yet, I stand, the invisible breeze.

Within my arms, her embers are never ashen,

Cradling her eternal amber glow.
