Literature Text

The flowers that burned
in the fires of youth
that whittled down to embers
as we got longer in tooth.
We cared so much.
We raged and feared
for what the future held
and weren't smothered by the years.
But now it is cold
and there's no where to warm.
So, we'll try to light those fires again
before the final storm
