Words

Flames licking along the page
Tiny, bright, burning, searching,
Consuming along the fuse-lines
That ignite creativity, destruction.
They smolder in the soul,
Blaze onto the page,
Singe away the dross coatings
Surrounding our lives.
Flames hundreds of years old
Burn bright today,
Catching new wicks on fire,
Lighting fresh wisdom-trails.
The flames ignited today
Provide light for tomorrow,
Burn as long as the world's minds
Provide fresh kindle.
So I strike a match,
Offer flames to the page,
Pray they catch the wind,
Blow embers into the world.
