the eternal coupling

 

He taught me how to read the sky

To watch the clouds pass slowly by

With wonder what would happen

If the blue inundated sun sharpened

 

To invite fire and breed optimism

He made it appear sheer realism

Dancing flames make hits and kisses

They burn some and the other fixes

 

Just as well the eternal dance goes on

The universe enraptures and moves on

The soulful display of youth and desire

The existential play of death and fire.

 

But so long as there is complementarity

There will be uninhibited camaraderie

Between firefighter

and firestarter.
