'TAKE A CHANCE ON WILD LOVE'

The night wind blows cold
You embrace the soft warm flames.
The pitch blackness beyond the fire's light
Makes you feel so very alone.
But you know there is something lurking in the shadows
Just waiting, watching every move you make.
Not knowing if it's there to help or harm
Perhaps to join you in the warm fire
Or maybe about to knock you down a link in life's food chain.
You are uneasy and short of air
Your stomach tightens, adrenaline
rushes through your veins
Feeling unsure, not knowing weather to stay or run
Choosing to chance it, hoping not to get burned
You pray it's for the best,
perhaps even make a friend.

All at once it rushes in, stopping
inches from your face
This creature is so soft and
beautiful
With the fire's light reflecting off its body.
You see the love, passion, and
compassion
Flickering in its eyes.
You just pray this gift from God
Can stay forever by your side
Keeping warm from the flames of
eternity
Wanting eachother always
Wanting neither to get pushed in
Getting burned by the other's
mistakes.
