SHADOW & FLAME

Night is dense, the air is still

A floating spark

against the hill

A tiny blue, a wisp of light

Breathing softly in the night

I reach my hand

to make it stay

Chase the shadows

far away

I am the shadow,

I am the flame

The darkness whispers

my new name

I make the silence

learn to glow

In ways the waking

cannot know

It lights the moss,

it lights the bark

A secret fire

in the dark

No heat to burn,

just light to guide

Washing off

the pain inside

Decades lost, but now I see

The ancient magic

inside of me

Shadow & flame... The fire’s mine...

I see the line...
