Dying Flame

Dying Flame

A Poem by Moonflower

 

 

 

Maybe...I will die

 

And then these words will echo

 

Forever in your minds

 

I'm a shadow on the wall

 

A flickering flame

 

One day I will go out,

 

Never to return again

yet a memory shall remain,
of love, rage, and pain,
and then thee shalt not regret,
for thy flame shalt illuminate,
for ye embrace thy fate.

once again your words urge me to write verses as a reply. outstanding work.

The flickering fragility of mortal life should make us all truer, kinder (but not sappier), and more determined to discern the source of our mysterious awareness.

Each apparently separate life is all lives, and rather than either nihilism or religious hope, time is better spent unveiling what the mystics know.

Then a whole new vista of surprise may greet the refreshed inner eye.

Brief but definitely not devoid of feeling. You do a great job at painting the picture in very few words and leave the rest up to the reader. The image in this case is a clear one, even though perhaps construed in shadow.

Well done.
