Flame Poem by Chaz Walker

O blue flame of the pterodactyl cosmos
I worship your awe
Like the God Particle found.

Embrace me with glory
And vertigo dreams, to soar
Beyond the decimal horizon.

Tonight, let campfires snug as memories
Hum the thoughts of imagination’s tune.

Life is life. Joy is joy.
The song wolf carries it through.

I stare into your eyes
Warm as an omelet
Ready to let infinity in.

Ancient symbols inspire my soul
To dance upon your hush crackling.

A spear, copper star, and hungry moon
Enters into being.

I worship what you want me to:
Tools used for seeing.

The night is clear as they sky is dark.
The trees are tall as the world’s a book.

I touch my hands upon your smile
And watch them melt
Until you cry ash.
