It didn't last very long
Just a blink of History's eye
A flash in a pan
But oh, how brightly it burned -
How beautiful the flame!
Millions came out to watch
As star after star burst into glory
Each taking a turn
To dazzle and shine
And amaze us all
Till the fire slowed its dance
And flickered softly
Casting its light on us
As we warmed ourselves
In its comforting glow.
The few remaining embers
Faithfully share their warmth
As we gather closer
Trying to soak up the last
Of the comfort they offer
And strain to see clearly
Through the shadows.
In the morning
We'll keep the Light with us as we go.
