It's the nature of the
flame to burn.

And for ash to long for the
distant taste of fire.

We are at once yesterdays flame and
the ash of tomorrow.

Yet always now...

We are this
burning.

To be the fuel in this you write so poignantly, is to submerse ourselves in the only true purpose that we are designed to be.  Splendid.

We are this burning

yes

and as the flame

we ascend

in spirit

to touch

the invisible reign

where only

the soul's purity

remains
Beautiful and inspiring, dear Eric.

I love you.

As a sun sign...
I believe I should library this...

Karilea - if I whisper, will you listen?  Keeping in mind, I must stand close...and keep my promises...
