Fire burns

Warming the soul with softened glow

So it will, eterne.

On a cold Winter's day, I yearn

To go

To a place where fire burns.

I reach out my hands, my trust it's earned

To save me from the biting snow

A moment I'll save, eterne.

But if I step out of turn,

I'll quickly know

How fiercely fire burns.

For flames, like a lover spurned

Burn places and memories devoid of woe

Unrelenting, for all eterne.

The truth to learn

Is friend or foe,

Fire burns

So it will, eterne.
