Perennial Wicks

Season's flame roars in the soul's hearth
light burning from spiritual kindling
shining its measure of love's incandescence
until the shadows turn pallor by illumined expectations.

It flickers eternal in the night of one's doubts
drawing as flies to a light through cycles of inner communion
cerebral candle ignites its iridescent flicker
warming insides with shimmer of holiday nostalgia's tinsel.

Succumbing in surmounting sanguine streams
bathing one's quintessence in the enduring auras of silvery serenity.
