Feeding a Flame

Forever through the air I fall

While sitting on this secret tall

Hidden somewhere among the trees

I love to watch the way the breeze

x

Dances and darts around the hearts

Of those who seek to get away

It cares not for their broken parts

And with their souls it loves to play

x

They laugh and sigh, stare at the sky

And somewhere out there, on the edge

Their dance with Death is briefly shy

Though with them both, he’ll keep his pledge

x

But this is lost on them while they

Are out up there, at night or day

They find a kind of tit for tat

The devlish dog, the cunning cat

x

And in this game, they seem the same

Him no less smug, her no more tame

I only mean to set the frame

For nature’s own, feeding a flame
