There is Fire

There is a fire inside us,

We can see it in each other's eyes,

It is there until we die.

Someone once told me,

Not to let my fire,

Burn out or flicker away.

I told another the same,

To hold onto their fire,

That it will light up the world.

Someday my fire,

Or theirs

May go out,

But it won't,

Not today.

This isn't much of a story,

But a message,

To those who may understand.

Don't let your fire burnout,

Or take over your life,

It can be dangerous,

But a necessary beauty.
