Poem of the Day: Reaping what we sow

Reaping what we sow

Kali sings.
Lilith dances.
I dream of
the end in fire.

Kali sings.
Lilith dances.
I ask of you:
“Should we all burn
together?”

Kali sings.
Lilith dances.
I watch the
flames.

I watch the flames
climb high into ignorance.

Should we die tonight?
Should we?
Should we?
Should we die tonight?

I watch the flames
climb high into ignorance.

I watch the
flames.
Lilith dances
Kali sings

I ask of you:
“Should we all burn
together?”
Lilith dances
Kali sings

I dream of
the end in fire.
Lilith dances
Kali sings

 

Kali = Dark Mother Goddess in Hinduism

“I See Fire” by Ed Sheeran 

lyrics via AZLyrics

Oh, misty eye of the mountain below
Keep careful watch of my brothers’ souls
And should the sky be filled with fire and smoke
Keep watching over Durin’s sons

If this is to end in fire
Then we should all burn together
Watch the flames climb high into the night

Calling out father oh
Stand by and we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on
The mountain side

And if we should die tonight
Then we should all die together
Raise a glass of wine for the last time

Calling out father oh
Prepare as we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on
The mountain side
Desolation comes upon the sky

Now I see fire
Inside the mountain
I see fire
Burning the trees
And I see fire
Hollowing souls
I see fire
Blood in the breeze
And I hope that you remember me

Oh, should my people fall
Then surely I’ll do the same
Confined in mountain halls
We got too close to the flame

Calling out father oh
Hold fast and we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on
The mountain side
Desolation comes upon the sky

Now I see fire
Inside the mountain
I see fire
Burning the trees
I see fire
Hollowing souls
I see fire
Blood in the breeze
And I hope that you remember me

And if the night is burning
I will cover my eyes
For if the dark returns
Then my brothers will die
And as the sky is falling down
It crashed into this lonely town
And with that shadow upon the ground
I hear my people screaming out

Now I see fire
Inside the mountains
I see fire
Burning the trees
I see fire
Hollowing souls
I see fire
Blood in the breeze

I see fire (oh you know I saw a city burning out) (fire)
And I see fire (feel the heat upon my skin, yeah) (fire)
And I see fire (uh-uh-uh-uh) (fire)
And I see fire burn auburn on the mountain side
