A Flickering Flame
life is no more than
a flame
fueled by ,love ,passion
and happiness
we try to protect the bearer
of the flame
of all evil
we ask angels to assist
yet our efforts are to no avail
for evil and death
has no end
a great sadness now shadows us
as we lay these bearers down
on eternal beds to rest
we believe that their
flames are lost to us
but death does not prevail
for they are part of this soil
we walk upon
the air we breath
the food we consume
for they have become us
their flames now flicker
in our hearts
pumping live through
our veins
as long as we cherish
this flame
their memory will live on
in our hearts they will
not be forgotten
