Of a once burnt flame

By Renton de Alwis

They burnt dry once
parched ashes left
bleached fertile ground
left site bleak ...

and then,
cold winds blew
soft rain fell
a soft sun shone...

no Phoenix rise
slowly gained life
germinal grew
tender caring fed ...

touched seen unseen,
held distant hand
wore distant smile
sang distant song ...

a cool flame swayed
like a tell tale told
what wonder can be
if a seed is live
is left to breathe
to seek to find
to reach to be
it's heart's content
