Sometimes i am a fire
Calling carelessly with my warmth
Beautiful flames dancing gayly
Bright and full drawing attention
Welcoming all to reach out and feel
Sometimes i feel like the fire
Necessary, needed, cared for..admired
Alive, vivacious yearning for more
Licking slowly then fast at everything
Eager for new things restlessly
Sometimes i do like a fire
Burn and destroy hopes of those
That dare come too close to my heart
Leaving darkness and ash in my wake
Protecting myself to keep on burning
Sometimes i burn like fire
Fast pacing, heat spreading
Panting, surging forward
Consuming internally eager to share
Quenched only by more
Sometimes i die like a fire
Small embers burning slowly
Spirits dampened no expectations
My energy fueled no more, all spent
Retreat withing myself and die silently.
