Transient Flame

Transient Flame
(for Steve)

How time flies;
Like birds and bees
Transient nectar
Deciduous trees

How leaves fall;
Like stars in sky
Meandering streams
Passers by

How oceans flow;
Like blood in veins
Wind over mountains
Bloom strewn plains

How life flames;
Like a fire fly
Light in the shadows
New born cry

Thanks, Justin. I wrote this for a friend's birthday. He spends a lot of time in nature. I also sent it to The Order of Bard and Druids as it contains the elements of air, water, fire and earth. All the best, Gail
