THE OLDEST FLAME

The oldest flame
With golden hair
Flickers brave
In dancing air
Alone, aloft
The highest peak
In silent breath
Its soul to seek.

Witness to wonder
In timeless age
Trapped within
An invisible cage
Its voice is strong
Its motive weak
Its inner self 
Pursues to seek.

Nature in
A swirling rage
Its cruel silence
To behave
Its seeking eyes
Caruse the night
Its beating heart
Its stance to fight.
