To help it burn brighter,
Pressing its brave warmth

Prying open clenched fists
That would extinguish its essence,
Spreading a momentum
Of tarnished hope,
Never ceasing to gasp
For newer footholds
To feed its energy.
Wherever the flame goes,
It begins its journey again,
Never going out,
Always breathing with the speed
Of grace and desire.
