Fay Slimm - Tender The Flame.

The flicker of our fragile fire
Burns low.

No bright flaming lights
Shoot out........
As before.

Sparks need fresh,
Airy breezes, .......
Dancing below.

Where lies life lives hope
That hot flames.........
Kindle more.

Words flowed like lava once
From our...............
New furnace.

Fierce was the heat
That warmed........
Distant plight.

Fire almost dies when,
Doused wet.........
With neglect.

Before our night falls,
Ignite more..........
Our tender lovelight.
