All that remains: here in my afterlife as a 'mainstream' blogger, with what little I know.

Restrictions: None
Dreams Stirred
My embers stir,
Before your dry timber portioned
Placed on my Phoenix landing.

I could never die
With coaxing of gentle breezes --
The division of my black remains
Spread out by your probing, plead
'Don't stop inhaling,'
As dry grasses fall
From your tender hand.

I devour, acquiesce.
I dream, convalesce
In this circle of stone containment.

My keeper returns when he's cold,
Speaks to me,
Divining new life
Each night under the stars,
Under the staggering pines
Glowing as they lean to view.

Before I sleep, I yearn,
Claiming all tinder on my way up --
Reach heaven in a smolder,
Join a constellation one night
Where you might view me
Warmly, eternally.



This will need attention to language and more later. Just thinking of the mortality of myself within this great nation.
