The closing flame

beat the shadows
and the stars
into submission

pray

ask questions both
in life and in sleep

hold out hands to weave
the vast threads of that
great beyond

be still

burn wild flames
long into the night

hold the words
of those spirits

thank them for presence
for humble inspiration
in this world
and the next

because the old ways
are alive

they are beating
their love
against the sky

follow their wings home.
