The Internal Flame

The Internal Flame

Where this passion lays?
in bolden steps and thoughts uncaged,
Where it gets contained?
memories full and life attained,

I'm not caged in anything but myself,
I'll be higher than imagined,
I don't need your help,

fuller in time,
I know i'll speak as rich in love,
as the one who made me will let me be,

We will all sustain love,
no power can erase love,
in our minds, in our souls,
we will fly high again,
one with everything,

Your internal flame, conquers hate even death,
live as promised,live with joy for tomorrow,

deaths rancid breath,
can weaken but can't conquer,
Heaven stood the test and his wills just as sovereign,

he will lift you up,
I will be caring for you,
until this age has fallen,
still I will meet you,

This internal flame is equal to a million candles,
because he gave to me,
I now must see you through.

Dear Erik:
You have placed your heart out in front for all to feel. Your emotions are heartfelt and it shows in this powerful poem.

And as usual in your own unique style.
