Lessons From A Spark

By Rhea Rouseau

Running towards fire, it kept me awake

The way it burned, the way it flamed

But on a lost but seamless day

Where I found you glowing in dismay

It told me to be strong, it told be to be bold

It told me to shine stronger than its own

It told me not to die but hold onto every night

It told me “I wont be alone” just not together at that time

The fire taught me all that I know

Shades of colors changing from dark to bold

Fame and glory all shattered at once

For as they say “good things come and go”

The fire was pretty but it was too dark to stay home
