at first we were scared
not controlling
simply along for a ride
wandering to unkowns
blissfully unaware
being burned yet
unwavering in
spite
of the undue harm
gradually learning
the proper constructions
using tinder effectively
when and where
to strike the match
learning to pile more
and more
firewood into the flame
yet always consuming
and needing more
threatening to
go out
but what is it
what causes this obsession
why do we
need a fire
no matter how often we are burned
it is beautiful
it is dangerous
it is hostile and
yet oh so warm
