Elegy of a Fallen Flame

In shadows cast, a tale unfolds,

Of a flame once bright, now turned to cold.

A lava's essence, fierce and bold,

Now reduced to ashes, untold.

Oh, lave of fire, once burning bright,

Now dimmed and faded, lost in the night.

Your failure, a lament in the air,

A reminder of life's fragility, unfair.

Once a beacon of warmth and might,

You danced with grace, your glow so bright.

But life's cruel winds blew fierce and strong,

And snuffed your flame, proved you wrong.

Oh, lave of fire, once burning bright,

Now dimmed and faded, lost in the night.

Your failure, a lament in the air,

A reminder of life's fragility, unfair.
