A Constant Fire Poem by Barry Middleton
A Constant Fire
the sun is fading from my view
obscuring everything I knew
I trust that it will rise again for me
it is the only constant fire
its faithful heat fulfills desire
it is more resolute than fading love
love is a comet's cold deceit
a blaze of light that brings no heat
and streaks away to tease the universe
the setting sun marks the years
recording all my hopes and fears
and melts away the frost of bitter grief
I only ask for time to share
a dream or two without despair
before the fire surrenders to the cold
The human pain has not found a pen like yours, dear Barry.In a tragoedian way you draw its path through the life.
Well I would not go that far but I do feel I occasionally hit the mark. Thank you for your very flattering and encouraging comments.
