Life . . . an amber flame
flickers in the wind
higher climbs the fire
licking the breeze
Love . . . a red finger
burning in passion
waxing its’ time
Sorrow . . . a blue hue
knows what once was
and what might have been
eternally
Candle in the wind
why do you pretend
to heat up the night
searing insight
Soul . . . a precious wick
that too soon wavers
its’ glory over
snuffed out . . . it dies
Life . . . an amber flame
