The Dance of Flames
A Poem that Burns Through Time
A spark appears in the darkness,
A flash, a whisper, it bites in the darkness.
A breath of life born out of friction
It dances and swings, slicing through the conflict.
The ember becomes redder and orange,
A beast that needs to be fed—it is ravenous.
In a frenzied ballet, it climbs and leaps.
devouring all that dares to remain.
With a voice so magnificent, it crackles and roars.
An innate power that is unstoppable.
However, there is a grace within it.
A brightness, a warmth, in its flaming embrace.
Watch out for flames that burn too brightly,
as they have the potential to scorch and spread quickly.
A foe in the field, but a friend in the home,
A sword with two edges that is unyielding.
Sighing as it goes out, the fire
A soft radiance, fading gradually.
However, new life will emerge from the ashes,
The fire never really goes out, just like life.

Thoughts on Vocal and the way the world is
"Death cannot stop true love, only delay it." – Wesley in The Princess Bride. I decided to come back to Vocal on a very cold and dark night at the end of December. I had been, and still am, convalescing from a horrible staph infection that had gone misdiagnosed for months. This, paired with the increasing challenges of being healthy, making the best choices for my co-parented child, being a wife, and being a director at a new job, was a lot to manage.
