Where the Flame Resides - Virus

The flares of life, the torches

The things to see when you slip into reason

The flares are there, dancing in the corner

Subtle reminders

And you see now that all around you

is dancing silently

as if to be discreet

As if life was all a discreet landscape

just dancing subtly around you

In the flame or where it resides

Next to the spent candle

Little containers, shrubs in your garden

Just light them and see

They have a way of showing you what you

were missing

The seem eternal to me

You need a light to see in the dark

Here they come to life

Come to you little flowers of the dark

Little flames in an hourglass

traveling towards death

Like us, they move down

showing their descent

to the eyes they have illuminated
