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 Frederic Parker 6/12/14
