That Wild Flickering Flame

Beating drums always murmur inside my heart it seems,
and I write of my aboriginal ancestors found in dreams;
oh, the reality of dream and reality in life are thin seams.
And though my life has been a ravaged garden of weeping,
of grief and loss that never seems to stop creeping;
it is into my poetry always and forever be seeping.
The love of nature is where I find my tranquil peace,
among green beauty my utter pain I release;
even with a winter blanket my roaming does not cease.
And I have found a group of people exactly the same,
like me, within their souls there is a wild flickering flame;
and we care not if our words ever bring us fame.
