James Schaffer - A Flower in Eternity

In a wide wild field of lavender stalks

and tulip scents tangling together

a blaze runs over the hills

from the horizon’s vaguest reach.

We - a flame-flower blooming in the far stretched fields of eternity.

All that surrounds us ignites - Igniting that all within us.

Among ash-veiled embers fizzling away

our flickering light fills the ever-empty everything.
