Fire

Smoke thirsts to billow 

A fire that longs to burn

Will find any spark it can

It will consume all it sees

No preparation

No defenses

Nothing can stop a fire that wants to burn

I will try all I can

To save you from the licking 

The irresistible anguish

Until the pain is deadened

Until the fire consumes me

Until I am it's path

Not merely in its path
