The Fire Within
You are trying to ignite a fire inside yourself
a fire of willpower, fed by the heart.
Too much water, and it dies
Water is emotion.
Too much air, and it dies
Air is thought.
Balance is everything.
Control the flow of water and air,
and the fire sustains itself.
A positive idea?
Lead with heart and thought.
The fire grows, and so does action.
A negative idea?
Manage the air,
slowly water it down,
let it diminish.
The fire always exists.
We must fight it, guide it,
Or it will stop us from moving forward.
