Poetic Capture: That Flicker of a Flame




That Flicker of a Flame



So many years later
A marriage
Childbirth
Death and separations

Our paths
Crossed once again
Like the staff of Hermes
Here we are again

You pause
Lost in your pain, despair
Depression even
For all the negatives that you have
Experienced since
Us back then

Still
There in your darkness
Beats the flicker of flame
Evidence to

Here and now
No need to run now
I hear your heart and soul
The soft, slow beat

As part of you still fights
As the majority of you
Sees and feels the light
It’s alright

Through all the turmoil
The pain and all
That still cooks you raw

You feel
Know and understand

What I want
What I mean
Where I stand

Aint a damn thing changed

As your light bulb
Flickers even harder
