Ember

Fold Zandura

mrs. jaded


loved a man whose passion


had faded away!


so she waited


for the day when the fire returned


but it never came





what she said to me:


love's like the seasons, remember


love's promised spring and summer


will melt away with December


....see for yourself





mr. vision


saw the future then found religion sacred


glitter-free salvation


took the patience of saints


so he cursed the time he wasted away





what he said was:


faith's like the flowing waters


a fierce and raging river


will calm and still in like weather





think for yourself, speak for yourself, see if


it's true


if it's true





just like the seasons, untender


life burns in spring and summer


but fades away like these embers





the world's elusive, remember


where love's the leaf


faith, the river


what's born as flame dies in ember





see for yourself!
