This poem is open to your interpretation, enjoy. [bodytext] => Within Me Dies

Darkness spreads
This is life

The flame within
Dims with the sadness
Brightens with happiness
The flame within then flickers
The extinguished flame brings darkness
Can't get the flame of life back
Once it has extinguished
Lost the dimmed brightness
The flame within

The flicker
Is nature

Dying within
The flame
Flame within
Has died
Dimming within
Again

Flame within

Within Me Dies

Darkness spreads
This is life

The flame within
Dims with the sadness
Brightens with happiness
The flame within then flickers
The extinguished flame brings darkness
Can't get the flame of life back
Once it has extinguished
Lost the dimmed brightness
The flame within

The flicker
Is nature

Dying within
The flame
Flame within
Has died
Dimming within
Again

Flame within
Is living

Flame within
Is living
That is bloody brilliant doll..This one is so rich with feeling and the flow is on top..I can imagine you and I getting together and teaming up in many ways..Between the 2 of us what a world what a world..Never forget how great you are here..Your being here is an asset to this site.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
