To a mate
Because sometimes you
remind me of the flame around a log,
steady and ready to spark;
your unpredictability ignites my wet wet day.
***
But you're contained
like the embers that come later,
responsible and constant;
your principles keep my feet dry.

Fire & Ember
To a mate
Because sometimes you
remind me of the flame around a log,
steady and ready to spark;
your unpredictability ignites my wet wet day.

But you're contained
like the embers that come later,
responsible and constant;
your principles keep my feet dry.
