Like smoke will raise from the candles
Our prayers will raise towards the sky,
Begging the gods to show the places
Where our souls can find the will to try.

Our prayers will raise towards the sky
Like the wolf's howl raises in moon light,
Where our souls can find the will to try
And find peace in the stars' blissful sight.

Like the wolf's howl raises in moon light
The dreams raise our spirit up high
And find peace in the stars' blissful sight,
Where we can spread our wings to fly.

The dreams raise our spirit up high
Begging the gods to show the places
Where we can spread our wings to fly
Like smoke will raise from the candles.
It's a pantoum poem :) it's my first attempt of something like this and it was fun to creat it.
A pantoum poem has this structure (the numbers represent the # lyric of the stanza):
1 2 3 4
2 5 4 6
5 7 6 8
7 3 8 1

and the rhyme is : abab

the idea came while reading "the story of the body thief" by Anne Rice...at one point it says: "the candles' smoke raises like humans' prayers raise at the sky" :)

i hope you like it! ^.^

p.s: the preview is a Vladimir Kush painting ;P
