Flame and the Blue Wind

Flame and the Blue Wind

For the one in blue

 

Nearby, but always disappearing

Comforting, but still unsure

Available, but never anyone's to hold

Like a wind, a wind in blue

 

Steady flame, resolute to never falter

Alight with gentle rays of hope

Burning with bright determination

Always here to light the night

 

But forever steady she wasn't

Behold the entrance of the wind

The flame's heart learnt how to dance

with past shadows awakening to the music

 

The funny little flame,

dancing and shining when all is still

yet lame and modest when the wind blew

But she was always watching

 

All helpless and dim

during thunderstorms and tornadoes

Though wanting to comfort with warm rays

But always never reaching the blueness

 

Now the wind has gone

All that's left are still shadows

Frozen painfully with no silhouettes

Nothing with a complete form

 

Flame burning on in the stillness

Here to light the night as always

But dim and quiet like a funeral

Not likely to be the same again.
