Fire
The heart is another fire,
in which it could burn forever,
water can kill one
evaporating ashes of life
The air of the one, the breath of one
The finale is gone: soulless
Hold the fire very close
And be afraid of the wind
Extinguishing could be glorious
A light casts over when the heart is gone
And the trees grow higher than ever
Yet lying there oddly
You musn't reignite the flame
Or extinguish it with water before
Over you is a cloud of smoke
Your heart burns brighter than ever
No one must extinguish it
Never
