Twin Flame

Katie Frances Hartless

adult, love, romance

Hibernating sentinel
of warmth and light
bearing but a candle’s flame
‘gainst wintery nights.

Frozen guardian,
ordained saintly knight,
holding faithful vigil
in spite of…

the layers we shed,

the faces we wear for love,

the life we try to bring to what’s already dead

fighting for a flame, but waiting for a dove.

    At the optimal level for a nebula nursery. The Goldilocks Zone.

“Hibernating sentinel
of warmth and light” – these lines I repeated over and over – how perfectly they fit the unlit

  Thank you kindly, Laura. It’s hard to keep that flame going. Winds blow strongly here this time of year.
