Heat Rises...

Quest for Fire
the warmth it inspires;
does one ever tire
of staring at the embers?...

How the heat and the color
seem to help you remember
something lost to the Collective
in the long ago past

Too fast lost to memory
in the search for a different Destiny,
wondering if the runner next to me
is in the same race at all

Was it Before or After the Fall,
the biggest mistake, the utter gall
to question before you understand
just exactly what you're seeing?

For all too often we decide
or in some cases just run and hide
before we really look at what we're facing
or for that matter, what we're chasing
sometimes the blackboard needs erasing
and the game plan has to change...
