What is fire?
A beacon of intelligence
A beacon of life
A force of nature and man with the power to purify
Sweep away the foul and stale
Release beauty from a dry, earthy jail
Make fertile, what was previously barren and dying
Instill life in a moment without even trying
To sustain a fire you must be responsible
Watch the flames
Watch what you say
It’s hard to keep the embers from getting too low
but it’s just as dangerous to rage out of control
To keep your heart burning is an important thing
But although you can feed a fire many things
There are not as many ways to light one
