Flaming youth, where have thee gone?
Setting suns take longer to fade
Than thy fire, now but glowing embers
Once prominently displayed,
Yet the heart remembers
What a flame thee had made

So suddenly did I realize your end
Content to let the Earth keep turning
Thy heat by slow degrees,
With an ever gradual cooling of thy burning,
Allowed the senses to freeze,
All of which now, too late in the learning

Rekindle that which made thee proud
To replenish the fuel by that which inspires
Let not the flame fade slowly,
For in lowering, lowers desire
Rather, make haste in making all things holy
Until extinguished, burn ever thy fire

This is so beautiful PoeticKnight! Wonderful phrasing and so tenderly described. Oh but this touched me today. May those fires ever burn indeed ... too often I've felt them waning, an excellent read!

Best wishes,
