Fire

Passions burn the soul
We think of the scars left behind
Yet not of the real love
Which can heal them.
Fire cleanses as it consumes
Ravaging the earth & those in its path
Yet leaving a bare foundation
Open to rebirth and renewal.
Real flames like true love
Come only once in a lifetime
Others are mere flickers
Their heat never as intense.
We yearn for fire’s warmth
It is a life force we all desire
Despite the pain and scars
We are drawn to even a smouldering ember.
If we turn away from the fire
Can a lesser passion offering companionship
Provide the warmth life needs
Is contentment preferred to all-consuming love
Divided from true love we are diminished, united with true love we are invincible.
