“Timelessly, that flame flickered.
Unquenchable upon its undying wick.

Fluctuating, pulsating,
Dimming to near darkness at moments only to spark the clearer.

Endlessly, that fire wickered.
Ubiquitous in its guiding light.

Permeating, coalescing,
All-encompassing of the smallest point and grandest of spheres.

Boundlessly, that blaze bickered.
Ultimate in its infinite valour.

Contesting, challenging,
And settling with the edge of infinity, that ultimate bound severe.”
