THROUGH THE FIRE

Like air to its flame,
it seize to exist
Seeping into darkness,
that black abyss
Not long
did it burn so bright
Dancing in the wind
swaying left to right
Emotional but strong
so full of life
Crackling and popping,
a blazing light
Burning so bold,
jumping with pride
With a shift of the wind,
air is deprived
Pulling strength
fighting to survive
Circumstances…………
have intervened
This flame
that started out so small
the subtle breeze
that kept it burning tall
Where once used to be a roar of pride
Now only darkness will reside
Nothings left but the flicker of a flame
This once bright flare has now been tamed
Slowly seeping from existence
Accepting defeat
dying without resistance
