Tongues of Flame

Tongues of flame,

Reach for the stars,

As if trying to return home.

The dance is elegant,

A well of beauty,

For your soul to light,

Memories stir,

Then bubble, then burn,

Faster and faster.

The flickering light,

Consumes all that is real,

Or imagined.

Light and shadow,

Hauntingly familiar,

Dare you to dream.

Rebirth is remembering,

Something pure,

Something primal,

The soul of a beast,

It’s eyes aflame,

Sweating and wild,

Dancing together with fear,

Lovers united once more,

In tongues of flame,

The dragon dances,

Beyond time and space,

Past, present and future,

Create and destroy, while

memory and thought,

Simply fly away,

Leaving the power of dreams,

And worlds long forgotten.

Warriors are forged,

Heroes are found,

And still the dance

Lights up the sky,

For it is in the tongues of flame,

The pen of fire is forged,

And your story begins.
