Potent Pasttime of Burning Knowledge

Light a cinder
For all accumulated burdens
Life renews in a millisecond
As veins pump golden stories

Bonfire for vanity-
is good to feast on doubt
Celebrating royal love
Like tribes in weary sands

Realizing time is a gambit
Universe is out on loan
Are we are the passage

Half this week has sped by and I have enjoyed reading many poems. Just have to love the diversity of the poets here even in the contests. I am so happy to have been able to read your poetry today Justin. Have a wonderful day and may you find inspiration to write more along the way. Love, Carol
