Perish not thou flame unconquered Never thy light shall extinguish Nor the sheltering warmth remove This may be a most impossible wish Behold the countenance of time Smiles upon maidens and minstrel knights Beaming down like the midday sun And the day always descends into night Thy seed remains ever to rise again Such a sweet smile of a mystery Thy light beckons to the shadow and the mist A tower of strength for all to see We close our eyes, to forgive and forget With body stilled and breath bated To dream perhaps, just for awhile Of the new dawn for which we waited And thou flame eternal rekindles Candle of hope and profound wisdom For that time which seems darkest Forever signals a new kingdom come |

I believe this to be one of my favorites, that you have written. Clear, strong and timeless. |
