What difference
Such beauty
Magnificent power
Little flame I see you
The grace upon which you dance
The tiny cackles that you make
Oh the fantisies which you provoke in me!
Shall I keep you here little one?
You are harming no one
Stay with me and you shall always live
As my tiny little friend.
Wait...
Oh the wind has come to play!
Little flame come look and see
Little flame...
How could you
I said you could stay
and this is how I am repayed
My magestic trees
My beautiful flowers
My comforting pastures
All gone...
Because of one little flame

ooh! i like this. very symbolic. at first glance, it simply could be just about a flame, but once you analyse it a little better, it could be about so much else!
