Be sure, I know Where I've come from -- My native town Is in the faraway hills Reduced by the sunrays to ashes. Insatiable as the flame, The child of burned down nest, I wander and consume myself, Becoming all that I am -- The Light of Mind. The glow coal I leave behind As my short poems and tales To be relighted then In the young generations, but Tonight, oh yeah, I'm all a flame!

You must be quite the optimist
with the expectation that the young generations
will read your words. Mine dry up and blow away
in less than two weeks. Oh well.

We flame for a while, then reduced to ash and dust. That's the way. Enjoyed this reminder to take note of the light we burn.
