Called by the Fire

The sky is clouded and grey
like a mirror
Dreams of celestial bliss
buried deep
An invisible web of whispers
spread out over dead-end streets
silently blessing the virtue of sleep

I'm still
Called by the fire
My spirit
Called by the fire
Yes, i'm still
Called by the fire
Called by the fire

Eternally

The flickering light
The heat of the flame
creates and devours
In my soul there is night

Every day I grow more immune
to social sedatives
Every day the web is more
transparent
illusions that we are all peers
Walking the stairs I am ever more awake

The black cloud is beneath me
and I laugh
