Song/Poem of the Day — Ashes in the wind

Ashes In The Wind

Remains of a day vanished with the wind Small amounts of something after the burning Spirit of despair its ashes in the wind Mortal remains rest in a bed of wild roses

Ashes drifting in the wind The Gods gather the dust and sprinkle the embers The ghost of the earth appears At last the day has come to take a soul away

Dancing bears gather round In a circle they dance round and round A blue cloud of smoke rises into the night sky Ashes in the wind to the song of the bears

Ashes in the wind with the spirit of the bear Finding its way home with the stars The mortal spirit at peace Ashes carried away on the wings of a raven

Ashes in the wind with spirits of the forest Gathered in the earth, a feast to the soil Mortal remains rest in a bed of wild roses The earth in rapture under the rain

Spirits of the forest sing to the ashes in the wind The eagle bows its crown to the ashes in the wind The snowy owl rise the ashes to a new beginning Illuminating the ashes in the wind

The legacy of the ashes in the wind Together the bringer of wisdom and death In death wisdom rise from the ashes in the wind Ashes drifting in the wind go with your spirit
