The spark is lit
A flash of light
Spark turns to flame
In the night

The flame burns
Creating like the Sun
All things on this Earth
Existing as one

The flame burns
Higher and higher
Reaching and striving
Alive with desire

The flame roars
A furious peak
Living life to the fullest
Is not for the meek

The flame begins to wear
Burning slow
The memories begin to fade
The people come and go

Burning lower and lower
Gasping for air
Dying slowly
Does anyone care

The flame dies out
The spark fades away
A transient experience
Nothing is here to stay

The cycle of life continues
Mother Nature moves on
Birds will continue to sing
Long after you’re gone

So live in the moment
In this you trust
Ashes to ashes
And dust to dust
