Eternal Flame

The spark is just that - a spark, a fleeting instant of fire and flame that brightens the world around it. But as soon as it is ignited it is self-extinguished. It is ephemeral. It is an evanescent light. But when that spark disappears, it doesn't take everything with it. Rather, it doesn't disappear at all, but evolves into something more - as it is meant to do. It evolves into something that does not come and go, but remains, burning strong throughout the night. Like the sun it can illuminate an entire world, penetrating the forest and ocean depths. Like the sun, those enraptured in its brilliance are drawn towards the center and towards each other. It is this alternative universal constant - L - that leaves its mark across time and place. It is not to be feared, but embraced. It is not ephemeral eternity nor is it eternal evanescence. It has no such boundaries. But, much like one famous cat - it can only exist when acknowledged as such.

I have more on my mind I think, but I'm too tired right now.
