LIVE

Live as today your breath expires 

 

But learn to maintain an everlasting fire 

The fire will galvanize people, tribes to create stories 

& share them to others. 

Leave this earth gracefully as yourself 

Guide those by your own trials & errors. 

 

 

Your knowledge and courage won't be forgotten and lying with the dust

I watch lotsa epic movies..leaving a legacy was so important to them..I like the simple but deep nature of your poem.Good work

[Troy Henson]

We are who we are so why go out like anyone else....a lesson learned is a lesson earned in life so why not pass on what we have leant along the long windy road of life.

Your opening lines are my favorite, the rhyme there is extremely effective as it captures the readers attention. The ending is also lovely because it relates back to the beginning in relation to fire. Great work!

Powerful. The end is never truly the end if someone has left a blaze fierce enough to burn for all of time.

This poem works on many levels, well done! Imagery and metaphor are very well done. However, not so sure about "share them to others" we share with others...no?
