Fire

by Nicola   May 28, 2005


My life is a fire.
Receives the power to burn,
but tries to pass on the heat and power to those who need it.
A fire that doesn't destroy.
Struggles when the wind seems to be silent,
but burns strong in a gale.
But what taught the fire to spark?
The flame was given life,
but would not stay strong without the trees to feed off.
These trees are different,
The fire doesn't destroy their life,
But rather shares their life to keep the flame strong.
It is a light in the dark to those who are near enough to see it.
Why can't the warmth that has been given reach beyond all boundaries?
Why does it stay only where it feels safe?
Instead of venturing into the unknown to share the word of the wind that gives life?

    You seem to have way too many ideas out in the wind but little to hold them all together you seemed to jumped from subject to subject without even staying focused on the core topic of your poem. well nice attempt. If you get time please any of my featured work and comment and vote it would mean a great deal to me. Take care...
