The life of a match
Renders useless
If it never dares
To spark a flame
The life of a flame
Unattended
Devours the match
And all that's around it
Some resent the match
For they hate to be contained
Others fear the flame
Afraid of inferno if set ablaze
But worst is
Scorched by nothingness
In a frozen abyss
Where the match refused the flame
And the flame was never lit
So instead
Let the match dance with the flame
And when all is extinguished
The story of your life will
Remain
-A poem about life written by Smaranda Domosaru
