Taming fire
A.D. Small 1987 (Indiana)
Taming Fire
Prompt: The Lightning Dances In Her Eyes!
She has fire in her soul
It completely consumes her
The ticket will pay the toll
But only if your sure
She has a new beginning
She picks up the jagged pieces
Every good story has an ending
One that you don't want to miss
She becomes one with the fire
She endures the flames
The lightning will take her higher
The scorching heat she tames
She throws hatred into the water
As she douces out the embers
But the fire just burns hotter
Her pain it remembers
She knows where she is going
The flames know where she's been
This pile of ashes is growing
And she will ride it to the end
