Reminiscence In Mixed Metaphors

 A lit candle glistens, its flame billows like
the dancing lights, tiny as specks, cast
their shadows in every direction.
 
The light invites a myriad of memories,
the pinnacles of joy and the depths of
despair, woven together, white and black.
 
I hear the waves clash against rocks and
retreat to the calm seas in inner rhythm,
like a storm, then a cascading melody.
 
A wraith forms before my eyes, a bright
figure resplendent in rainbows of sullen
grey skies, you a portrait of sunken eyes.
 
Your tears and mine filled a dry ocean,
and our laughter convulsed the shore.
Our whispers echoed through the forest!
 
The skies were empty without our glare
deep into the mystery of our reflections.
Up their zenith could we decipher LOVE!
 
One day,  as our new chapter is written,
the enclaves of our souls, separated by
the chasm will melt into one anew.
 
And thus will end the ascent of  pride as
eagles do clutching the hellish earth as
they  fly into the sky!
 
And so will the descent of humility as
worms do burrowing deep into the soil
of the earth, their natural heavenly bliss!
