Old Flame In The Woods

Is it the flame that hurts, or the lack of it?

This dancing firelight

Burns cosmic pain on her page

Not from flame, but ash

Such a deep longing. A glimmer of hope. Wishing things would return as they were.
All things I see in this poem. Very well written. I empathize greatly. Truly magnificent.

I had the exact same idea as the comment below! Your poem sounds like you are describing a Phoenix. Wow the words were very moving. I am not sure if I interpreted it quite as you thought it should be though. I though of it as someone who had pain in their life, but let it go and "burnt that page." If I was wrong I would love to hear you explain your work. Good Job!

This reminds me of how someone may overcome from their struggle and rise from the ashes like the magnificent Phoenix.

Maybe I'm too much of a connect the dots person,
but the title makes me think of your Forbidden Forrest piece.
...maybe not so bad that it's gone?

On her page... interesting. Online or a writer too?
I guess it's not clear if this is really a good or bad thing.
Makes the reader wonder many things.

Page could mean quite a few things. But you've got it, this is meant to be thoughtful of a variance of ideas. I view the page as in a page of a story. Was that marvelous page full of love and pain better being there, or better burned to ash?
