Birds of the Branches and of the Flames

 

 

The rustling branches sing me a lullaby

A pure melody, hypnotizing as a Syren’s cry

A song so sweet, it puts me straight to sleep

A slumber unbroken, dark and deep

 

These same boughs crackle merrily, quite game

To being thrown into a fire, lit aflame

Their song sweeter still this song awkens me

Their spirit strong and rousing, uncaged and free

 

The song of the branches is a bird in a cage

Pure, untouched by passion or rage

The song of the flames is a bird flying free

Unrestrained, it now knows fear and glee
