Fire

Hope comfort me in my time of need.
A hearty fire that glows and grips.
Away my fears to the hearth I feed,
My icy doubt melts and slips.

Fiery coals steam the damp away.
Embrace the warmth that gives me grit;
A dauntless blaze asks man to stay;
Emboldens my timid spirit.

But Fire serves not thee,
And swiftly takes control,
A reckless spark roaming free
Could burn the very soul.

So temper hope and check desire,
Ere all is lost in the fire.
