A poem about putting your warm into the world.

you are just a bright signal in the dark.

Glowing orange agenst the back drop of the void

casting your brightness hoping some poor sole will see

dieing extinguishes your flame.

cults, books, love ones. echo your flame. reverberating through the bodies of people youve touched in your life.

some flames burn bright and hot.

some are just a flicker. worried about weither to be blown out by the next gust.

death come. we cant predict.

burn bright and hot they say.

burn bright.

burn.
