Bequeath the Flame

by Golden AnGel Rhapsodist   Feb 17, 2026


~*~
Bequeath a truth they won’t forget,
A spark of grace where shadows met.
Like trees that bleed in autumn’s sigh,
You too shall blaze before you die.

~*~
For change, though dressed in riddled pain,
Is not just loss, but sweeter terrain.
A tortured myth, some may confess
Yet in the breaking, we are blessed.

~***~
We fear the dark, the shifting ground,
The silence where no shape is found.
But growth is forged through constant strife,
Each wound a forge, each scar a life.

~****~
Each muffled scream, a frozen chord,
Like scalpels drawn without a word.
The hand still bleeds where no one's seen,
But silence hides what might have been.

~*****~
Clouds chase the moon, the sun in flight
But all it takes is one small light.
Yet still it dares the low hope flickers
To rise on broken, breathless prayers.

~******~
So if you fall, then don't fall on fire,
Let ashes teach, and dust inspire.
Your flame will live though breath may cease
A blazing will, a deathless peace.

~*******~
No truth is truth till trial’s flame,
And brilliance hides in humble names.
A mind that dares to burn alone
May shift the stars, and shake the throne.
