Poems by Paul Holmes

Yellow flame flickers
Shadows dance upon the wall
Love grows ever strong.

Crescent of colours
Arching high above our heads.
Sunshine brings us hope.

I’m always amazed how
You stand so very tall,
How you never give in,
You bend but do not fall.

Your orange flame dances
In a hypnotic display;
The winds of change keep blowing
But right there is where you stay.

You constantly keep shining
Like a beacon, blazing bright;
A light in black darkness
To brighten our long night.
