I see you in the firelight <br />I am clinging to the past <br />But the darkness of night <br />Like all else does not last <br />Memories seem unfading <br />But like time they slip away <br />The images degrading <br />As the darkness now gives way <br />I saw you in the firelight <br />But fire is burned to ash <br />You’ve faded from my sight <br />Because nothing ever lasts<br /><br />Tim Vallie<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-saw-you-in-the-firelight/
