Welcome all Poetry Please members and anyone who should find this poem.
"In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit."
- Albert Schweitzer
Elemental Being
Flame
My red hot flames ignite
Your spirit and your passion
Bringing light and health
Crimson
Blood flows from you to me
Life-giving, anonymous
Years later I thank you
Branding Iron
The iron glows red
Burns your symbol in my heart
Two becoming one
Signature Color
You see me coming
Cherry or Red Delicious
Unforgettable
