Purest Flame Poem by Greg Uhan

the purest flame
is that which is contained
within a single drop of morning dew

the old sturdy oak
makes peace
between light and dark

giving birth to a sanctuary of shade

the gentle breeze comes
bearing kisses from the sea

the caterpillar sets her sights
on the butterfly's lofty heights

in hopes of one day becoming
one again with the wind

even the worm takes flight
in the song birds breast

gaining its wings
in life after death
