Don't go near the fire,
Phoenix!
Oh, you've still got a lot to learn.
You feel warm
as you get close,
But close enough
and you'll get burned.
I stare into the pit
as I warn you of this
Hypnotized by the movement
Like greater meaning is amiss.
A sudden change of air
and the heat
makes me aware
of some deep longing
for comfort
I guess we all share.
