Crisp is this darkness
Almost stinging as if light
Out there among my many withered gardens
I can see only a faint glow from the beds they bloomed
So cold in this place
Slowly i walk through the fields
Past each charred picket fence i constructed
Something here slowly making my bare feet slightly warm
I hoped for pretty roses
Yet something here is wrong
Each stem is slightly dark and cindered
Each bloom completely void of any color, just black and white
Forward, behind, left and right
Millions of my gardens left to waste
Still something must be here warming my feet
Something must be here behind the strange glow i see
I look down below
Below the withered blooms
A bed of embers slowly burning here
Right beneath the world i have worked so hard to grow
Falling to my knees
In a crash the ashes rise
Up in the air the ashy embers glow
As the tears of lonliness and fear fill my heart and soul
For just a moment
As the embers light the sky
A hint of color on a single rose shows
Somewhere so far away but somewhere i have grown
Shall I go
Shall I stay
Shall I stay warm here
Or risk it all far away
Or shall I just be thankful for this ember sky
With a hint of color somewhere i have been
Though my garden has filled with ashy bed
And my picket fences have been so charred
