To Smother The Flame
Watch the ember spark to life,
Revel in it's brightened brilliance,
As the kindle begins to burn,
You're using twigs to build resilience.
As it catches add the logs,
build it even higher still.
build it strong, like a wall.
Make sure the fire gets it's fill.
Lie down and love it's warmth,
Sit here, enjoy the hill.
Look out into the stars,
Let your mind take in the thrill.
But when the logs begin to char,
and the fires strongest heat is elapsed.
Cease to build the loyal flame.
And smile over the time that's passed.
Remember the moment,
recall the day,
and let the flame,
smoke it's self away.
