We are like a flame that flickers in the night
A brightly glowing ember that turns into the light
A small and humble inception that smolders as it grows
Gaining in momentum from the living that it knows
The fire of life intensifies combining without hinder
Expanding to its climax and then fades back to a cinder
This cycle is a circle beginning with each flame
Ending with the charcoal a remnant from whence we came
Our brief flame
