Flames of the Fire
I know you and I used to be part of the flame of a single big candle.
That flame was used to light smaller candles and ignite them with that same flame.
Now we may be two different candles
But we are still both burning with the fire that we always did
Your flame may be used to help light the fire that will cook dinner for a friend
And mine to illuminate the dinner table for all to see
We may switch roles
Or even have new ones altogether
Whenever there is a flame I will see you as you will see me, as we are both the fire
Whenever I see no flame but mine
I know that I can ignite with my flame, our flame
And you will be there with me, doing what we do best… being fire
Transforming the world around us for better or for worse
If I forget that as long as my flame is burning
so too is yours as we were once the same flame
When my candle burns out, and my wax has melted
I will rejoin the big candle again
Molding my melted wax to keep the eternal flame burning
And I will see you again as me, and we will burn eternally
Again as one…
