Fingerprints

Broken memories

They taunt me like a bird caged by scorched wings

Puzzle pieces missing

The grubby fingerprints that kissed the walls have vanished

Like the wind without her whisperings

And the colours wept from all her tapestries

Would be left nothing but sullen imagery

The uncertainty of forgotten things

Broken memories

They taunt me like a bird caged by scorched wings

Puzzle pieces missing

The grubby fingerprints that kissed the walls have vanished

The phoenix she dies with her wings burning

She sinks from the sky to the earth returning

But she will rise through ashes singing

With new wisdom she flies

With new wisdom she flies

With wisdom she flies to a new beginning
