The match that burns too bright
when it first ignites
will be wiped away
in a moment of fire;
neither ashes nor ember
will remain behind
to mark its passage
in the grand tapestries of time.

The Match That Burns Too Bright
The match that burns too bright
when it first ignites
will be wiped away
in a moment of fire;
neither ashes nor ember
will remain behind
to mark its passage
in the grand tapestries of time.
