The Will of a Flame
Just keep the light on
There is nothing but a distilled silence
Mocking this heart
A mere blemish of a reminiscent light
That whispers in dark tones
and groans every time
IĀ try to raise the bar and fight
There are no sugar coated freeways
To cruse down at my leisure
I endeavour to feel the pressure
In every God given measure
Salt encrusted wings
Sting
Bring an uncouth harmony
To all that sings around this fragile frame
Yet I shall not squander time
Nor fixate on blame
Drain all colour from the sky
I will not cry
Nor question why the birds choose not to sing
Bring your blade
The one that cuts the souls of men
Smother with words penned from your bitter page
This world cares not if you dig your own grave
I might fall hard
Gain scars
But I will savour
every single shard thrown my way
Find some beauty
BetwixtĀ the night and day
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā
Yes...
I will stay within this world
Where the light feels stark
For I have learnt
That a flame
Can shine its brightest
In the dark

Well Greg the human lifespan is ever increasing. Never say never I say. I think we as humans are advancing in so many ways at the moment. It is an exciting time to exist š
I certainly like your attitude is very exciting
Oh bloody hell Gwen...you have excelled here...I felt every deep hurting emotion but more than that. A dark invitation to life and the universe...do your worst because you cannot possibly come close to the what you have already done!! Then the last lines which state boldly ...life may crush you but you will not crumble. A big 'fuck you' actually written in the most beautiful elegant and soulful way. I'm so impressedĀ
Love it šš
