Silent Fires

Ricia Rae

Song 9# for my 2025 RPM Challenge. The finishing line is near. I wrote this song last night - it emerged out of the burning heart ache I’ve experienced since the death of my beloved 13 year old dog Maxwell (died last May) - my love for him is eternal. RIP Maxwell….one day we will meet again in some cosmic form.

When you go away
Nothing takes your place

I can’t be on my own
again

And all the love we shared
It doesn’t feel the same way

I’ll never find my way home
Again

Silent fires
Burning into you
Silent fires

Well I dream that someday
You’ll come and take my hand

And you’ll guide us
Back home again

And our hearts will sing
With everything we hold dear

And I know we won’t be
Alone again

Silent fires
Burning into you
Silent fires

Silent fires
Burning into you
Silent fires

But maybe you cannot find me?
Maybe it’s true
But maybe you cannot find me?
So what will we do?

Silent fires
Burning into you
Silent fires

Silent fires
Burning into you
Silent fires

Do you know
If you know
Do you know
Do you know

Silent fires
Burning into you
Silent fires

Silent fires
Burning into you
Silent fires
