Flames and Shadows

Some say the flame will fill your soul, Some say the flame will harm you if you come to near, Some say the flame makes the fire whole, I say love the flame and it will love you. The right melody can make the flames dance. The right rhythm and you will dream. The flame shown by the dark is hidden by the light. Pay attention or the flame will take control. Some say the shadows hide the truth, Some say the shadows keep you from yourself, Some say the shadows spread the darkness, I say embrace the shadow’s power, and be protected. The right amount of light will keep the shadows from you, But not enough and you can get lost. The shadow in the corner only watches to learn. Pay attention or you will draw to near.
