Fire is a Gift
By Ralph G. Lam 2002 ©2002 R.Lam

Fire is a gift
From the sun,
And there the sun rests,
And bleeds,
And needs to fuse it's flutter.

Pearls are a gift,
A cinder there within,
Forever.

Glowing by the fire,
Pearls of glistening sweat
Each tell separate truthes.

Fallen timbers lie,
And moss there to grow,
And muster courage
To see the sun,
On fire
