I watched a flame without a name,
It did not ask for praise or fame;
It simply danced against the air,
As if the world was not aware.
And in its light I felt a stir,
Not fear, not peace—but something blur;
A question moving soft and slow,
Of things we feel but never know.
The night stood still, the world held tight,
Between the shadow and the light;
And I was just a thought between,
What has been felt, what has been seen.
I've touched on similar ideas before on
