Fire


Light perceived as hope

Darkness as an end

At times they interact

And deliver all the same

 

Start light in fire

Turning light to dark

Ending one contentment

Igniting the new from old

 

Fire, we tame down

It makes us let go

Pass the heat to move on

Douse the passion to be strong

    Letting go is so much a part of the meaning of life, I’ve learned. And fire is the perfect symbol of that effort. I like this.

    That last line is interesting about dousing the passion to be strong. Sometimes holding on to all the passion and the fire is the very thing that’s burning us up and we all need to let go and remember our worth. A wonderful poem for the prompt, Astrid!
