Wind Songs
Wind songs echo
In a room called home
Opening and closing
Yesterday's door
Until I beg them
To sing no more
Chanting to a burning hearth
Flirting with each flickering flame
Still asking me to praise your name
Timeless fires burning long
Kissed to life by warm wind songs
Force me to remember
I am alone with the embers
