Far From Flame
Anthony Van Nus 2006 (Oregon)
Passion hot, stomach churning,
I am strong when the fire’s burning,
Burn the ships, the fire’s twirling,
Burn it all, my plan’s unfurling,
Strike a match, stoke the flame,
I’ll no longer play this game,
Fire’s good, fire’s bad,
It makes me happy, it makes me mad,
Scorch the past, it’s all behind,
Live in the moment, not in your mind,
The future’s foggy, filled with smoke,
Don’t rush in, you will just choke.
