Eternal Flame

Beneath the sky so vast and wide, A restless soul, a storm inside. Chasing dreams no hands can hold, A hunger fierce, a story told. Not fear, nor pain, nor fleeting doubt, Could dim the fire or snuff it out. Through shadowed paths, where few will tread, A voice within my heart has said: "Press on, for life is but a spark, A fleeting flame against the dark. But should you fight, and should you strive, Eternity will keep you alive." So I rise, through loss, through gain, Through joy, through sorrow, love, and pain. With each step forward, I reclaim, The endless dream, my eternal flame.
