Alive of Wonder

Ashes of ceremony

Ashes once alive

Alive with energy

Alive with fire

Fire laden breath

Fire ignored

Ignored into hush

Ignored like burning

Burning to escape

Burning in smoke

Smoke from sage

Smoke from knowing

Knowing of prayer

Knowing of hope

Hope shaped in ache

Hope in embrace

Embrace in hurt

Embrace in growth

Growth in blooming

Growth in seeds

Seeds of becoming

Seeds of flourishing

Flourishing in a hole

Flourishing in the ground

Ground to expand

Ground to feel

Feel so alive

Feel so enriched

Enriched in water

Enriched in spirit

Spirit of ghost

Spirit of shadows

Shadows are lonely

Shadows of longing

Longing for  warmth

Longing for gladness

Gladness of mind

Gladness for self

Self to rejoice

Self to be

Be of breath

Be of love

Breath of stars

Breath of wonder

Wonder

Stars

Ashes of ceremony

Ashes once alive
