Flames In the Night

Flames flicker in the deadest part of night Making shadows on the cabin floor The time heartfelt dreams take flight Who knows what the morning has in store Will a certain path become more clear Perhaps we'll hear the lonely tiger's roar Face our tomorrows with no falling tear Find strength in the last glowing embers Together we have nothing more to fear These hours are time for us to remember Before the light of day appears once more For soon come the storms of late November Hold my hand and watch the dying flame Tomorrow, I will love you just the same

Very nice terza rima! They are a bit tricky aren't they. I like your recurring flames. Nice contrast to the dark. And the tiger was brilliant! ~ Sincere thanks for your comments on my poems :)
