Well Mr Cash he sang it
that " Love's a burnin thing "
and while I've not felt grandest love
I know how fire stings

I know it feeds on olden things
dried and dead and bare
but in its hunger not off sated
it consumes with equal flare

It scars and wounds and melts
both flesh and metal's gleam
it bursts and ruptures maim's and kills
and turns to ash grand dreams

Love is like that living fire
a hunter in the night
a stalker watcher thinking beast
preys on young and old alike

But God in His grandest mercy
knew of fire's truest form
and crafted in the hearts of all
rebirth through fire's storm

Like the seeds of the ancient firs
that only open in fire's wake
our heart once scorched and ashen
will be of stronger make

I know the pain of fire's burning
and the burning power of Love
I choose to be the Phoenix chick
Now mated with the Dove.

" and I dream of her always,
even when I don't dream.
her name's on my tongue
and her blood's in my stream."

Your time is here. Take one last look at it, then never come back. This part of your life is already over...
