firelight lost

Return oh glowing firelight lost From under embers antique dust Rekindle among the paper leaves As burning beacon lights the trees On twitchless tombs of sleeping death Cast across your cinder breath To light the night with candle stars And lift the darkness prison bars In meadow halls of matted rays Where vines grow longer than the days Burn the roots taking hold In the soot of furnace coal In corridors of ringing bells Scatter round your fountain spells Turn the ceilings into skies Staring down at waking eyes Return oh glowing firelight lost Contemptful with your fiery gust Do you hide from what you see Or is the one thats hiding me
