Fires burn in the night
Tongues of flame lick the dark sky
As cries grasp cold air

In agony their
Despair fills the empty void
Fires begin to dim

Only embers now
Embers then become ashes
Alone now
Gone now.

The author's comments:
This piece was inspired by my minds eye, envisioning what it would be like to die alone. With no one to help, and full of nothing.
