FIRE
One day you're feeling weary and tired,
There's not a great deal to look forward to.
And then the next something happens
and a spark awakens in you.
That spark is just a little one,
Not much to write home about.
Only you are aware it's begun
and you wonder if it will die out.
Then a warm breeze comes along
and fans that tiny light.
It turns into a little flame
that feels comfortable and right.
It flickers there inside you
and you wonder if it will grow?
Fire is like all life.
Needs fuel to feed the glow.
You hope the flame will endure
You just seem to KNOW it's right
and you want to feel the fire.
You never know, you might.
And suddenly it happens
you are past the faint glow phase.
the perfect fuel is there,
from flame is born a blaze.
NOW I'm really very hot
and loving this new feeling.
My body is engulfed in desire.
it leaves my mind reeling.
Now I'm no longer weary
nor tired nor feeling worn.
I have something to look forward to.
From fire a passion is born.
Now I have become that fire
with flames that dance and writhe.
All because that little spark
was noticed and kept alive.
