Flickering flames, the night consumes,
Scattered embers, lost in the gloom.
A breath, a whisper, a story untold,
Drifting like ashes in winds so cold.


Burning bright, but the glow won’t stay,
Fading slow, like a sky turned grey.
Once a fire, now only smoke,
Words unsaid, hearts left broke.


Oh, do you hear my name in the silence deep?
Does the night still call where shadows weep?
If time unravels what was meant to be,
Would you still reach through eternity?


Footsteps echo on empty stone,
A house once full, now dust and bone.
The weight of longing, the pull of past,
Nothing built was meant to last.


If I was wind, would you chase me still?
If I was dust, would you drink your fill?
Or let me slip through open hands,
A ghost forgotten in foreign lands?


No dusk, no dawn, just endless night,
A love dissolved in dying light.
If silence could speak, would you hear me then?
Or am I just ashes lost in the wind?

am I just ashes lost in the wind?

Ashes in the Wind
