Blood & Fire Poem by Lubna Hazeem

Oh heartless child, where have you been?
Somewhere beyond this world again
Oh heartless child, where to tonight?
Somewhere you'd never dream to find

A garden, more beautiful than you'd ever know
Or a haven, somewhere you'd never dream to go
A stranger who was blind enough to see
Has walked this path before peacefully

And found that all he's ever desired
Were all the treasures he could never own
And all the thoughts he's ever believed in
He surrendered himself to so he may roam

Free, where all beings could breathe
Surrounded by infinite possibilities
Life is at best when it's out of reach
And we're possessed by everything

The sun, the stars, the moon, the earth
Gravity pulling the whole universe
The land, the sea, the wind, the storm
And endless waves in a united form

Racing towards the edge
Racing towards the edge
Like knights on dark horses
Like the spirits of the dead

Disappearing out of sight
Beneath the moonlight
Blood and fire collide
We are tonight....
