Whispering winds over mountains
Embers carried in zephyr
Both stood watching
Forests burn to lone trees
Ash pillowed the earth
Ink stained paper
Blood stained skin
Souls akin
In the midst of dusk
Diamonds beckoned to each other
Glimmering above
Laid upon the ash
Fingers interlaced
And the bones of buried men
Nurtured the saplings
Emersion from ash
Thunderous silence
Heartbeats pulsing in hands
Windows peering in
Burning in a fire without a flame
All the while trees grew all the same
