Ashes

Walk with me and dance
On the ashes of this earth,
For mighty is the flame that wildly rages so,
And burning are the fears of a people long ago;
This is everybody's earth.

And the fire in the ashes
Warms the voices lost below -
Gone are not the secrets
Of long forgotten sorrow.

But the whispers in the wind
Echo hope that cannot fade;
Only drowning in the darkness,
Till again the fire is made.
