I am the ember that burns- assured, Not with the fervor of the fireworks lights. I choose to warm... without a word; In brightest day or darkest night. I will not bring the excited tone For those that wish the briefest pleasure. Yet, attend well those few who've known What lurks, deep, within my measure. Fireworks burn and are a wondrous sight; Many colored fantasies, of immense hue. Yet, once they're gone, cannot reignite- But my embers will always renew Not dispassionate... my warmth can be stirred To white heat, and soul piercing fire, And quietly, to those that know the secrets conferred Upon them... that wish warmth to inspire For embers will never die in quick exclamation. The nights,and days will all be attended Fired passion- unexpected, and without hesitation Until the appreciation... has ended In gentle warmth or ardent fire Attend them well, for they will never tire For each fire will begin anew Each will afford a different view I am the light... in constant evolution For passion, burning or warm elocution Poetry is just the evidence of life. |

In gentle warmth or ardent fire Attend them well, for they will never tire For each fire will begin anew Each will afford a different view Sigi,your woprds bring to mind the eternal fire of sacred keeping. Fire tenders were the most honored of all humans,keep well the trust Fire Keeper!
