LIKE A FLAME

LIKE A FLAME

 

Like a flame fighting the winds
Of Nature’s fury
Flickering in its coming mortality
And so longing to survive
My soul falters in its  passion
To stay alive
In a body frail and languishing .
The only life it has known
Afraid to face Eternity alone
I feel my flesh
My body fires with desire
And I endure not to end.
To go on in this place
Stopping Time
My Spirit clinging to its space
Of pain and pleasure.
Never  to let go.
But
We win our battles
And  lose.some
The war will end.
One day soon
So it is
I will have to give in
Like a flame dying in the wind.
