FOR I AM NO LONGER THE SAME

I AM NO LONGER THE SAME

There is a small flickering flame
It once dwelled in the shadows
But I am no longer the same

It still flickers tiny bright by itself
As it has waited patiently
But I am no longer myself

The wind of change has blown
No longer in the shadows
That flickering tiny flame is no longer alone

What once was dark is light
And the caverns in my heart tiny flames are lit
No longer am I blind, I now have sight

That long standing flame will burn for now
But another may take its pride of place
And now I know how

No longer yield and bend my flame
The wind of strength has fortified my soul
For I am no longer the same
