Poem 16: Flame

Reflect her pain
Reveal her soul
Dancing flame

In the fire
She walked
She suffered
She fought

Mirror of yesterday
Of the morning not yet made
Dancing flame

From the fire
Through the air
Against the rain
She returns home

Rediscovering her love
Eternally retained
In a forever waiting
Dancing flame.
