Who By Fire Ramblings

Who by fire
 watches the earth burn?

Who believes that matter
 is neither created nor destroyed?

Who burns their bridges behind them
 after walking across its form?

Who swims the water's edge
 treading through its unknown depths?

Who drowns his spirit
 in alcohol, drug, and opiods?

Who lives only for today
 when tomorrow is on the horizon?

Who still believes in God
 after everyone claims to fall away?

If time and life teach us lessons
 then why do we never learn?

Who by fire
 denies what lay within their grasp?

Who thinks out loud
 and wonder who is listening?

This is great DM, I'm listening, and I still believe in God, sounds like you have reached a crossroad of sorts with this write. Enjoyed!
