Poems of Lighthouse Bob

Fire's Glow #152



The trees are strong
I know
I watched them grow
blowing in the wind
they became invincible
living on forever
it seemed
and yet,
they burn slowly
deteriorating
in fire's glow...
       Day by day
   prayer by prayer
moment by moment
    softly spoken.

I watched them fall
into little pieces
rotting in the garden
growing old
and life is ironic
that that which stood tall
now, should burn
and provide warmth
so we may live on
deteriorating
in fire's glow...
       Day by day
   prayer by prayer
moment by moment
     softly spoken
