Fire

by Spirit

A flash
burning, & breathing
different from streaks in sky
this is strange
it does not disappear easily

bright
warm and peaceful
it does not light up whole land
blackens earth
it is warmer the closer i get

gone
strange and wonderful
it has ceased to flicker in the night
yet now
i still feel it when he is near

F
I
R
E

yes i remember now
a great fire when i look at him
i feel strange, small
i want to hide inside myself

fire
it is not gone
even though it burned out
i can still feel it inside myself
but then
not all fire is created through sticks

all it takes is a spark
