Nightfire

I have moved on
to be the clarion
for the ages to come
I am become
a nightfire

a whisper of the elders
rising in the night
a hallowed murmur
of enlightenment
a persistent echo
of the knowledge
of the ancestors

a frail flagging flame
of the sacred fire
its embers
now near ashen
but still aglow

in a world out of balance
I will help stir to flame
the smoldering wisdom
from times well past
unto time eternal

I am become
