Fire

Written by Ahuva Goldstand, expanded by Ali Ghafoor

'Tween both domains it lies
your choice
your will awaits
your wish, your voice
it flickers and prances
it shivers and dances
enticing you, beckons
it tempts with a passion
consuming your tears,
doth destruction rejoice

And yet impartial remains
This beast
On charm, cheer, or havoc
Will feast
Lies dormant it's scheme
Till unleashed will preen
Brilliant aurora
Now a life of its own
Burns slowly, torments
You'll never find peace

And as it flails and waves
turning your rants
into it's raves
You'll stare into it's blinding core
and will finally be able to see

It's not the fire that burn
but your reflection
It's not the world that turns
Just your perceptions
It not the sun that rises
Nor society that surmises
and the oceans have always been
higher than land
true fire awaits
though you have barred it's gates
as you lay busy
rewriting the lines
upon your hands.
