Lighting a Fire

Lighting A Fire 

Bic
Light it, the fire 
It's burning desire
Desire to be lit,an endless flicker
Like a time clock quite the ticker
I'm yearning, it's burning
The whole flame 
You can out it out 
It will change 
Have you ever lit a grill
With the coals 
Did you ever know that you had control
You can put vinegar and water
On it and it will calm down
That's what happens 
When you light the fire 
What if it were to rain
Would the flame still be lit 
What if you wanted something so bad
You would do anything to have it
Light it, even when it's dim
Light it, when the tunnel is cold 
Light it,Because it's in you 
Light it for all you've been through
Light it until the flame is out
Then relight it that's what it's all about
