Soon, you'll rise from the ashes of a torching I can't claim Child of Light, quick to catch So much power in the striking of a match, such relief in the flame If you'll burn for me again, I will wander this scorched Earth, setting fires at each turn, in your name

Thank you, Bill. Yeah, the form IS weird, isn't it? It's for a contest so I thought I'd give it a try

Tommy Boy, you're comments mean a lot to me. They are positive, usually funny and almost always include a productive comparison. Thank you, my friend!
