The Fire Within
No longer does fire stir
within this heart's sequestered din,
memories and experience blur
where once, there was a fire within.
How dare the years pass away
when laughter and joy were in flight
and my prayers begged them forever stay
yet in the shadows each slipped into the night.
If only time could be turned back
ignite the flames desire and burn
as years and love denied all it lacked
while in my heart the fire still yearns.
It aches and beats a melody
of you and me in younger days
whispering and singing quietly
of the fire alive within the maze.
