The Fire Is Out



The fire is out
The room is cold
There are no windows
No light to see
Just what had become of you and me
I search for embers
There is only ash
No water needed
The fire is out

This room is cold
Too cold to stay
I need a way out
I have to leave ~ today
I can not stand to be here any more
The warmth that was once here
Is now no more

No place to rebuild a fire
No windows to bring in some light
It's an empty room
It's an empty life

I leave the room and close the door
It disappears
Another room ~ lost
Another fire ~ gone
Life is about moving forward
Moving on

Another door will open soon
Another fire ~ in another room
There is no looking back
No bad thoughts to have
Just lost memories
How sad

A light will shine
A fire will burn
Life will bloom
Love ~ will find a way.

I had to take a minute and stop to read your new post, because I knew it would be so awesome. AND, I was so right!

A great depiction of the end. (relationships, friendships, even life)

I second Cindy, a perfect depiction of a loss that is close to the heart. Incredibly moving piece.

Life

A fish who longs to be in water A bird who can not wait to fly A snake who wishes to recoil  A mole searching for better ground Sky so lifted to give space Moon afraid to show his shape Hides behind a blanket of night Stars blink to share their light Oceans anger crashes down Beaches lying with the sand Rocks climb to stand tall Wind watches them all fall  Mountain tall enough to roar Let loose his inner being Earth was burned to begin again. Gave life back to the living.

I'm not just a Mark

 I'm not just a Mark. I'm a Book Mark. Have you heard of them?  They are all the rage. They take you so many amazing places. They are highly revered, some not so much, but that's the beauty of the Book. There's something new in each one. From start to finish, and in between an adventure to go on,  a mystery to solve,  a lost love to cry over. Then this is where I come in... I Mark the spot.  Whenever you need to, grab a cup of coffee, a tissue, use the Bathroom...there I am. To keep your adventures right where you left them.
