Light a Flame
Yesterdays are folded in time
Cast into flames, they burn and climb
Their smoke froze in dark colored air
They seemed to rise in endless sky
To fall silent where ashes cry
Caught between my hands, where I stare
My soul now turns an ashen gray
Still lost in flames that weep and stay
I'll hold a heart, that does not care
contest Light a Flame
