Fire

Would we know what it's like
to be Fire
both feared and desired
they all see the light
they come for the warmth
some come too close
expecting more
desiring more
forgiving little
for the first few burns

fear burns the desire
they see you as the start
of a forest fire
could you tell them
that you are just a flame
yet untamed
befriending the wind
you blow and burn each way

not you, that turns cold
for unknown adventures in the dark
you burn bright and bold

not you, to control
your volcanic spark
a living fire
you are..
you are..
