KEEPER OF THE FLAME

KEEPER OF THE FLAME

I am the setting sun
bleeding crimson-red
Into blue horizon.

I am the moon riding
In a midnight sky
shrouded yellow pale.

I am the Keeper of the Flame
with a prophet’s name *
and when I forever fall
I will have kept it written all.

*Jeremiah= Geremia

We are all keepers of the flame.

except the asterisk to reference your name is perhaps unnecessary.

Powerful and evocative. I don't expect to leave such a legacy, a few humorous pokes here and there, perhaps my best work helping younger poets.

cheers,
Jess

Spent most of my life upside down having my liver pecked out [grins]

A grand write, the keepers of the flame, we are all that Joe, and as we travel on this is what we must aim for.
Many are here just so that others may learn, but in showing others that we also learn,
Take care young Joe, Yours Ian.T

There are a million reasons to believe in yourself,
So find more reasons to believe in others..

Life is a series of inevitabilities.

As one gains age or infimity it's appropriate to identify with the ending of the day and coming of the night. Let's hope our days last a bit longer though lol..............stan
