The Flame

 

THE FLAME

by

Anthonystjoseph

I ran at life

Like a moth to the flame

Something inside me

Would not be tame

 

I tried this

I tried that

I lived life

Like a cat

 

Now burned by the flame

Still in love with the light

My thoughts tend to wander

Like an untethered kite

 

The flame still burns bright

The desire still there

But now my attraction

Needs to take greater care

 

I wish I had known

Before I had flown

The knowledge held now

Is of someone who’s grown
