Seeking to be seen beyond the glimmer
from a limited source
Yet recognizing that the reality
is more likely to be misinterpreted
as if viewed from beyond the shadows.
More often than not
those who attempt to capture a glance
are limited by their position
Beyond the flickering flame
is where those seeking understanding
can be found
An echo
from the vocal chords
of a nocturnal songstress
calling out to those on a quest
for personal or emotional gain.
The morals and sensibility of our actions
teeter on the improbability of responsibility
Beyond the flickering flame
hopeful eyes seek a proverbial “smoke signal”
offering a cue to approach.
Contemplating
Sipping
Conversing
Nonsensical banter of open access or wishful entry
Beyond the flickering flame
