The Fire in You

Poem Number Three

By J DPublished 8 years ago • 1 min read

there is a fire inside of you

not a blue flame from a gas stove

not a small glimmer from a match

not a butane burst from a cheap lighter

but a campfire

a campfire surrounded by people you love

they are strumming guitars and singing

stories are told

riddles asked

memories shared

love felt

all around your central flame

you crackle and burn

and they add more wood, more air

as they can't bare to see you fade

you keep them warm

and they keep you going
