1. Memories, For, When I Am. (Being edited 2024)

Flame

She is a flame who burns with a passion.
One who leads you with her light,
like any other

But she has her own fears she must
tend to:
She fears the dark of night for she
fears she might go out
but she doesn't,
she holds strong to the bonds she's made,
and burns bright into tomorrow.

She blazes a trail
and we follow,
She lights the night
and we stay close to her,
She warms us
and takes away our sorrow.

She is brighter than the most molten of
metals,
hotter than the trail she blazes, on which
the coals she walks.

She arose from the ash
and guided us from the dark.
She warmed my heart with her
words and friendship,
and, as I grew closer,
I melted under the heat of her soothing flames
and became as maliable as the jewels she wore.
So, she moored me,
taught me,
and shaped me into who I am
and aspire to be.

Before she burns out, we feed her our
confidence,
So that she may burn bright again and once more,

When she grows scared we warm her
with our hearts,
So that she feels safe.

And when she is sad, I take it upon myself
to dry her tears,
lest she put herself out
and become the ash she rose from.

She sets the winter days ablaze
and we rejoice in the wake of her warmth,
She lights the night around her
and we glisten under her gracefulness.

She leads us from danger
and the blaze of her flames is
that of the sun against the vast somber
siloutte of space.

We are her comfort when she is down,
as she burns like the very passion and conviction she
put into our hearts.

She glows with radiance
and burns with a passion,
she guides us with her light
as we follow her into dusk through golden fields
into eternity,
as she speaks, she touches us and ignites our
very own flames in us,
that lie dormant within our hearts.

She is a leader.
And I know now,
why I aspire,
why we aspire,
to be as radiant with passion,
with conviction,
as she♥
