When white hot we burst
Into the expanded state
Of heated desire
We thought little
Of the contraction
That would follow.

No heed paid to
The explosive way
We threw off the layers
Of surrounding protection
Leaving only the core
To cool

And in time send signals
That others read
As a passing
Epitaph for love
Dying

Burn bright
But shed light
For we illuminate
The way for those
Who follow

or is a 'half-life'?

this is powerful, Cpat, very powerful
we can tend to rush into passion with the heat of the moment not giving any consideration to coping with the cooling
makes me think of the false energy from a high sugar bar and the crash when it wears off

Interesting how typically innocence leads to experience which leads to Wisdom but usually through much time spent... A rich write here with many facets of interpretation.

I like the analogy.

Burning brightly, and seen nightly,
Yet too far to touch,
Even slightly.
Lonely within the void of space,
The radio plays romance,
Yet there lacks touch,
Song searches for a resting place
Binary hopes.
