thoughts on fire
hand over flame
he feels no pain, just warmth
hand over flame
she feel no warmth, just pain
one looks into its center
and sees only destruction
while another looks
and sees life and opportunity
one’s gaze finds the power to eradicate
and the other’s gaze finds the power to rebuild
can you dream of one without the other?
the fire that burns
and the fire that heals-
can one exist without the other?
