Fame's Dance
Recognition in New Orleans — flame thin.
In New Orleans longing for echo is ordinary weather — name that carries past the block, legacy not anecdote.
Acclaim seduces with smile. Standing tall collects followers and invoices you for their appetite.
Fame dances on thin flame — joy and sorrow same mouth. Wealth stain moralizes the glare. Popularity weighs like night.
Allure never fades; it just changes costume.
Tread with caution and grace. Blessings and burdens share a door.
Dreams take wing only if you keep footing when the crowd leaves.
The flame still dances. You still choose the tempo.
