For Want of Fire

 

I try to light a fire
But cannot draw a spark
I barely get a glow
To chase away the dark

Lots of little lights
Not even quite a tiny flame
They come and they go
But I am always left the same

I have know fire before
So now it feels so cold
I want to know it again
Before I grow old

My passion runs deep and strong
My heart is my own fire
I need another heart to kindle
To take us both higher

Where might I find her?
So many places to seek
While I stand here lonely
Each day I feel so weak

This is the flame I long for
The fire of love’s embrace
Each time it passes me by
My heart is a lonelier place

Life goes on, and I am without a companion.  But I am an optimist, so I keep searching.  See you Monday.
