The Pilot’s Flame


In the depths where shadows softly dwell,  

A flicker stirs, a secret flame concealed,  

A pilot hears whispers, tales of heart’s farewell,  

In quietude, soul’s brilliance still revealed.  


When winds of doubt blow fierce against the light,  

And storms in life conspire to snuff the glow,  

Seek the spark from dancing dreams in the night,  

To stoke the fire and let love's current flow.  


With courage, the pilot ascends through the dark,  

An unbound spirit, embracing it’s way,

In realms where shadows and brilliance embark,  

Seek the profound in the dance of each day.


When acceptance blooms, and trust opens doors,  

As silence deepens, and thoughts drift far away,  

In every breath, the heart learns to explore,  

A wisdom is found where gentle embers play.  


So tend the flame within, let not it die,  

For in its light, the spirit finds its grace,  

With open heart, the pilot reaches beyond the sky,  

And lives life well in Love’s embrace.

Increase in me that wisdom

Which discovers my truest interest,

Strengthen my resolution

To perform that which wisdom dictates.
