Writing With Gibran - Flame . August 26, 2014


From Sea and Foam ... Carpe Diem Haiku Kai inspires us with this quote:

[...] "I am the flame and I am the dry bush, and one part of me consumes the other part". [...]
But I'll add another quote:
 Pvt. Jack Bell:
Love. Where does it come from? Who lit this flame in us? No war can put it out, conquer it. I was a prisoner. You set me free.    "The Thin Red Line"




ardent heartbeats
consume hatred leaving love
flaming sunrise

the flame of knowledge
burining in a young man's heart
a cawing crow

innocence consumed
the flames of reality
on the soldiers tomb

bells ringing
the flame of faith
the doves flutter skywards
