The Flame Within

The Flame Within

I see the flickering flame,
And marvel at its brightness
Its warming nature
Though its light
Is quite pale and soft
Somehow
The brightness
Illuminates the room,
And manages 
To brighten
My heart and fill my soul
For in this flame
Burns a steady promise
Of a love and friendship shared
Across miles and miles
On this earthly plane,
And when I feel the steady warmth
Flowing from within my veins,
And see the light shining 
Like a tiny beacon of hope
I know that this little candle 
Is a symbol of love, heart,
And truth.
Thank you, dear friend.
In finding you,
I am, once again, finding me.
