Dawn - Snow Ghosts

Two steps forward

And five steps hence

Taking your words

To build the trench

Wrapped around parts

With baited prose

I’ll breach these walls

If the doors are closed

I’ll never tire

And I’ll never fall

You built the pyre

To answer my call

Forests will burn

Ashes will rise

Ask me your turn

With the dawn in your eyes

Fletch your arrows

And strain your bow

I’ll bare my chest

If you shoot low

The axe that you picked

With petals torn

Will root itself back

Before the dawn

I’ll never tire

And I’ll never fall

You built the pyre

To answer my call

Forests will burn

And ashes will rise

Ask me your turn

With the dawn in your eyes

You built the pyre

To answer my call

Forests will burn
