Ripples of water, reflections of the night sky<\/p>

and inflections of why, words came but all authors’<\/p>

pens dried and faltered, moments of the divine<\/p>

lost to the sacrilege of time, senses came but altered. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Darkness came and surrounded,<\/p>

confusion came and confounded, <\/p>

as deep as valleys, as tall as mountains,<\/p>

heartbeat in chest pounded. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Little lamp lead the way, the end is not today. <\/p>

Tomorrow will come and stay, so do what I must to stay<\/p>

a lit by this gentle flame, as all of will not be in vane.<\/p>

I said aloud in a moment of panic to stay sane.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

But time came and the light did not falter, <\/p>

faith grew in this little, little light of mine, <\/p>

and it grew to shine without any signs of alter. <\/p>

Hope flickered as the flame stayed a lit on the twine. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Alone and afraid, frayed rope dwindling<\/p>

burning as vibrant kindling, however closer did it fade<\/p>

luckily in the darkness laid, countless stars swindling.<\/p>

My heart rejoices as I have made it to the rekindling. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

No longer alone, no longer afraid <\/p>

pulse dropped, pounding laid to rest<\/p>

the stars came and a lit my flame<\/p>

I need to thank them all by name.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

As I laid staring up at the stars,<\/p>

feeling so small and alone on Mars,<\/p>

I forgot all of the people who have came<\/p>

who shared their flame and allowed me to share my flame.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I hope I can keep being your flame,<\/p>

and a piece of yours mine.<\/p>

Days will be dark and dreary,<\/p>

but glow on and glow forth into the night.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
