What survives fire?
the peace that lives in the forest
the water that runs
and tints the river red
the sound of a heartbeat
pounding on a leaf
What survives fire?
the sound of your eyes when they melt
and the touch of your voice
the desire that lives in me
the desire that refuses to leave
it is fire that I feel
when I see the many battles
still awaiting upon me.
