The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.

It burns, it sizzles, and it crackles deep inside
Its desire to consume building as it grows
Flames so brilliant, water may never quench it
Sparked by thirst and fueled only by desire
Feel it growing inside,
Reaching to another branch,
Creating a spark that ignites another,
And thus it spreads vast
Everything in its wake
Nothing unmarred
It is when the fire ceases
That everything turns dumb
The Fire it burns fiercely
Deep, down inside…

The author's comments:
The Fire Inside to me means the birth of an idea. Once we share our ideas with others it grows like a fire. It is our desire to make these ideas and/or dreams reality and as we share them with other we take that step towards making them so. However, when we stop dreaming or coming up with new ideas the fire stops and dies along with our dreams/ideas.
