Among them I am but One Flame
breathing in the quiet
as another day is bound
preparing to chase dreams.
I notice how those around me
climb to the top to find
darkness and sit there
content it exists for now.
I notice how tenderness sparkles
like cheap Wal-Mart earrings
and smiles help those in need
return from their own grave.
Among them I burn like an old flame
reminding myself of them
ignited
.
