The Rekindling

The embers of the heart
Though sometimes grow dim
Never really go out
Only need rekindling

Those that dare to
Keep the passion smoldering
Afraid of love dying
They stand afar fanning it

Admiring it's beauty
But just a distance
Always preparing
In case it needs tended to

Being careful not to get to close
Because the burn of love can sting
Drawn in by the flames
Only daring to try and dance

When the temperature is just right
And the warmth settles in their soul
They can't help but get comfortable
To make themselves at home
