The grass is always green on my side.

The Flame

untitled   

Like a candle in the wind
My flame, she flickers
Not knowing when it will die out
Come strong winds, I start to waver
When all is still and calm,
My light shines ever so brightly

The winds of change they come blowing by
Tempting my flame to say goodbye
But my flame, she dances ever so gracefully
Yes, she dances like so with the wind
Blending so perfectly as one
Though impossible as it sounds

Now my flame she stands ever so still
Not wavering, not dancing,
Nothing
My poor flame, what should she do?
Let go, hope to be re-lit?
Or waver, with sad fragility?

My flame, my flame…such is life
Protected, you shine so brightly
Yet when you are free,
How vulnerable you can be…

    and may that flight burn bright and strong in the darkest hours, and be free of shadows when the day is light.
