ashes

My Dreams have taken a turn,
from toward to fleeting away,

and I sit and stare into their leaving,
and wonder, why is this the way,

they come to within my grasp,
and when I reach for the,

they burn in the flames of hell,
then the winds blow the ashes

away,
away,
away.

I think I am going to buy
a fire extinguisher.
