Eternal Fires

Eternal Fires

‘Eternal Fires’ is a poem of mine which explores the importance of hindsight and looking back, but more so about the significance of letting go of these past memories in order to move forward to create positive future times. This piece touches upon personal memories throughout too. I hope you have a brilliant October 2019 and there will be lots more articles, stories and poetry on ‘Jake Borrett’s Writing Blog’ over the coming weeks and months. Take care.

Eternal Fires

We wish happy moments were an eternal fire, always blazing

Playing games of Scrabble and Articulate as we sit on cushions

Walking over hushed bridges under a burnt orange sky

Stroking each other’s fingers under oak trees with birds soaring up high

Laughing over in-jokes, sharing slices of toast, spilling lemonade on our lap

Being together with loves ones where a good day stokes the embers

So, they continue to always shine.

But no matter how precious,

We have to let go of these past moments

If only to make others, and then we can be free

We wish happy moments were an eternal fire, always blazing...Copyright © 2016 Maria at Superior Wallpapers. All rights reserved.
