Holding the Matches

we find life in moments within nature in the rain or the thunder that soon follows in a bushfire from the trees that became hollow but she brings her own life and i find it incredibly peaceful like rain on a tin roof sometimes it's a loud love like a bike at full throttle she's lightning in a bottle energetic and explosive but not all the time sometime she's the light to a small candle a little flame that sometimes goes out and that's okay because you can't be the light in the room forever sometimes you need another spark to lift you through the rough patches i'll forever be that person for you i'll forever be holding the matches
