The Flame (7-10-03)
Linkage Action
As I watch the flame
flicker,
Disturbed by passing wind,
I try to cover its distress,
Only to be burned by it.
I draw my hands back in pain,
Only to be drawn back again
By its shining beauty.
But I could not take it anymore
This flame does more harm than reward.
And even though it hurts,
I extinguish the flame in my hands.
