Fire



You are the heat, the passion life must be.
You are the flame, the coal inside of me
that stays warm till the morning, glowing deep
and golden-red beneath these ashes sleeps
this ever-burning ember, fire of peace--
the inextinguishable hope that is
uncovered by the ardent breaths of dawn--
not daunted, but augmented by the breeze.
