Redefine the Fires
I fear Hatred has deepened
the thickets surrounding us,
erecting thorns where there
should be blooms.
I fear that we have defined fire
as the Condemnation of Chaos
rather than believing in the heat
of its pure, creative essences.
If there are fires to be spread,
may we be scorched with Love.
