To know this fire

I turn as wood
gathered
in
your
arms.

You feed me to the flame...trusting in
the holiness of what burns -
and what remains
untouched
by
heat
or
hand.

To know this fire

I turn as wood...and meet the flame.

I like this- it reminds me of the passion and honesty of a new love - before the complications of time and events.

of one
needing the other...
