Come Together, Frontier Ghost Town

Fire and Earth

Watching the cinders glow inside the flame
lost in their magic time and again,
as passion was giving the flames a birth
soft movement beside me, a mysterious skirt
In the dark, like a veil, with a story to tell

It traveled the world through hot and cold,
made by the seamstress for traveler bold,
she wore  it like armor, and a wedding gown
defiant lady with a smile and a frown

We captured the night, the stories unfold
shadows in the night sharing spirit of old
she was the voice and I was the ear
there was so much I enjoyed to hear

I was thinking what I should say
but none of the words made sense anyway
thoughts, wishes, desires were having a fight
but I knew we only had this one night

With every step and word that we have said
we were getting closer to an inevitable end
yet there was no sorrow, no searing pain
getting to know her was magical gain

We parted out ways without a goodbye
I don't know if her path will ever cross mine
her smile stayed with me, it's all but gone
I wish I could tell her that she's not alone


To Kate,
Brave and wonderful Warrior of the Light
