Fire

Two beings born of the same tinder of life. Arising from pieces of kindling called loneliness, hurt, regret, and desire, all in the same pile prepared to burn. As the match of a new relationship lights fire to the heap of debris, two flames emerge on the opposite sides of each other.

The inferno begins to enlarge, and the two flames begin to ignite with a burning desire to touch each other. The heat of their passions begins to warm the air around them and in that moment, they are alone together. Dancing in the bed of fire like two flamingo dancers they entwine in each other’s arms and embrace quickly but just as quick separating. Knowing as they come together as two, they will combine into one. Each with their own source of fuel given to them by the circumstances of life. They glow a bright orange and a fiery red as their essence grows. Sparks fly all around them, created by their intense passion to touch one another, and the embers crackle all around them. Rapidly they merge, and in perfect harmony burst into a single flame, separate but one. Burning brightly like the sun in the sky it lights up the night around them.

Too quickly the single flame loses its energy. As the heat of its passion consumes everything around it, it slowly dims. Before long it fades into a smoldering pile of ash. What was left of the two flames is now glowing red embers in a heap of ash. As they are cooled by the night air the flame separates and the two flames reappear. To be extinguished once again by the world around them.
