Embers (Timbers)

Our souls set ablaze
Different times in different ways
Pyre tipped, next is lit

How can you want this?
"'I have been aflame for years'"
A blaze in the dark

Soulfire cruelest fate
Made more kind when it is shared
When a brother dared

Is destruction worse?
Has my soul not considered
Such an abrupt end?

There is no escape
Grave dug up, coffin pulled out
We are not alone.

Can minds be reframed?
Fireplaces in winter?
Bonfires on the beach?

Let's agree on this:
Though the spark will not go out
(W/E) can't take much more

So strike the matches
Let the written word remain
Phoenixes to chain
