Some doors open up to a raging fire, others a steady warm flame.
Sometimes we stand outside the door wondering if we should go in,
should we take a chance, turn the knob, find out what is inside?
Should we take the chance of getting burned instead of warmed?
Would it not be better to have had one glimpse of fire's beauty,
to feel the heat and passion possible,
than to never have entered the room, never taken a chance?
The pain of living makes the joys of life that much sweeter. Without the sudden spark that strikes, we could not feel
the pleasures of the friendly fires that burn steady through our lives:
the steady flame of friendship, the burning flame of love.
Kindling to the lives we live,
Fueling the fires that burn within us,
giving us life and the will to live.
Our souls holding, swaying to the flames of life.
