THE FLAME

THE FLAME On the tripodThe candle burnsIn symbolic marriageOf wax and wickThe flame is the childA spark of the essenceKnown to the ancientSo the vestals tendedTo preserve the lightConstance was the glow The flame, a hidden trinityThe child’s earthly sojournOf consciousness in nuptialsOf soul and spirit bodyDancing in the windLiquefied wax smouldersRising amber with blue baseWrapped around the wickRevealing, life enfoldingIn the flare of being

Flame as a symbol

The Flame is used here as a symbol of life and it represents the presence of vital life force. It could be fascinating to watch a candle flame. It provides a mood for contemplation and reflection. 'The Flame' is a product of such a moment. Thank you for stopping by to read and for the comment. Best wishes. T.
