Live a poetic existence. Take responsibility for the air you breathe and never forget that the highest appreciation is not to just utter words, but to live them compassionately.

A Poem: "The Flame"


The Flame
By Jenna Reimer

I am free.
Free to wake, free to breath,
To walk, to run,
To leave that empty space.

I am free to accept, to refuse
In beautiful times
Or flaming seconds;
I am the flame.

I can be ignited
And lit by my fueled palm.
There is no I or burning
Unless I think it into being.

I can be extinguished
And die in a fury of nothing-
A flaming of the heart.
I am free in every way.
