Fire

Fire needs space

And that's what you gave me

In the heart of the heart

And the eye of the eye

A flame was free to burn

As it would burn

Fire is swift and reckless

When wind is licking at its back

A fire is slow and lifeless

When built on the heavy pyre

of yesterday's water logged remains

Our fire did not rage

Nor did it suffocate

Heart was free to feel as it would feel

Eye was free to see and to be seen

A fire wants to be free

A fire wants to be breathed upon wildly

A fire wants to be drowned

A fire wants to be buried quietly in its own ashes

A fire wants to kill

A fire wants to save and to survive

A fire wants to annihilate all you call your own

A fire wants to be break open all that is ripe and dormant inside and have it grow

A fire wants to be the centre of attention

A fire wants to be left alone

A fire wants to flee and to chase

A fire wants to expose, to erase or raise to grace

Our fire wanted only to be itself.

Our fire wanted only a space to be free of space.
