Spontaneous Fate

The light

Quivers

And ignites

A life is made

In the darkness

Of a night.

*

Through

Years of strife

It glows amidst

The cycle

Of persistence -

Magnificently exists.

*

Until,

One day

It falters

In combustion

The light becomes

Unfailingly altered.

*

Alas,

The light surely

Reincarnates,

Rebirth

As it begins anew -

Spontaneous fate.
