Dancing With the Flames
July 17, 2011
Would I dance like the flames
Would the heat be too much to take
Would I light up against the sky
Would I find myself suffering from no air
Would I be able to take a breath or
Would I inhale the light
Would my lungs glow but not with delight
Would I sweat from the dance or
Would the flames not allow the relief
Would I be able to resist the dance
Would it even be worth the effort
Would it grab me with it’s to hot of hands
Would it force me to stay close and burn
When the dance is over
Would I be able to let out a cry
Would it be awful to be burned alive?

The poem was great, but I particuarlly liked your insight on the side there, it really gives you a lot to remember as you go through your days, life is what you make it, after all
