[BwayDems] IN MEMORY OF MY HUSBAND MARTIN SOSTRE 1923-2015

SIEMPRE  EL FUEGO 
The fire began  unnoticed 
A whisper in  the wooden beams 
Slowly  growing, gathering strength 
Then suddenly  it exploded,  
Fiercely  swirling in a surreal dance. 
The  firefighters, helmets in place, 
Slick black  coats 
Took out their  hoses and sprayed. 
Day and night  the house resisted,  
And would not  collapse.  
Finally in the  heat of August 
It gave way,  reduced to ashes. 
But a small  flame persisted 
Steady and  strong 
A living  reminder of the house 
That once  stood tall, 
And it  will never expire. 
As long as we  keep the flame alive, 
It will burn  in all of us. 
Dedicated to  my husband, Martin Sostre, 
Lizabeth  Sostre / August 22, 2015
