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
