Fire

Listen….
     Do you hear it?
          Look…..
               Do you see it?
                    Stop…..
                         Do you feel it?
This fire is so warm
     It keeps me calm
          While I wait…
                This fire protects me
                      From the pain
                           That seems to be my fate…..
You will come,	
     Won’t you?
          Before I succumb….
               To the unknown
	     Of the wild
	          From being left alone….
Listen….
     Do you hear it?
          Look…..
               Do you see it?
                    Stop…..
                         Do you feel it?
How cold 
     Now the fire is
          I hear footsteps on the ground…
               Have you finally come
                    to find me?
	           Will I no longer be alone?...
With the wind in the trees
     Movement comes and goes
	My mind is playing tricks on me…..
                   From the darkness in behind
                        I feel you coming close	
	               Our hearts have realigned….	
Listen….
     Do you hear it?
          Look…..
               Do you see it?
                    Stop…..
                         Do you feel it?
My lover has returned
     From his never ending fight
	His love unturned….
                   Embraced by his arm
                        His hand in mine
                             I am finally feeling warm…
Together we will tame
     The wild that surrounds
	Together never is the same….
                    We fight as one
	           Together not apart
	                Our new life has begun….
