Fire

Dance within the fire,
But don’t let it consume,
The whisper of the trees.
So give up our differences and become mesmerized.
I don’t know your fate but I know mine,
To escape the desire to steal her heart
And watch her ghost enter the smoke.
Fire consumes and ends all,
But starts a new life at the end of the purge,
It screams with a crackle and pop to end all,
Is this divinity or just a fraud?
But as the organ of the church plays,
We shall see the end,
And the beginning.
