flame

 

some say
sunset is only light
in colours purple, red and tangerine
melting the sky into the sea
weaving a dream into our soul

some say
that light is transitory
a firefly in a blink

but i know of spring
of life's eternal cycle
of the radiance in your soul —

that you too are light.

i believe the soul doesn't only exist within us..that each soul is also a part of the infinite, a part of the Creator who brought the world to existence, a part of something that the mind cannot grasp or define. maybe when we love someone, we are given a gift to see and feel this infinite within them (o i ramble too much )).
and your poetry is a gift truly, thank you for sharing the beauty always.
