Into the Fire
Into the fire
into the night
watching over you from a frightful height.
I see you questioning everything in sight
looking for the answers beyond that of tonight.
A young soul not to have found a way
in understanding the rules of play.
Into the fire
into the night
time will unwrap you from the night
a place where all find themselves
before they can see the light.
Too young to be established
too old to be noticed
holding on to feelings of doubt
that go beyond your shadows of pout.
Intoxicating the connection of freewill
with a desire to unfollow all the rules
has this been set before you
clouded by the fool of judgement.
The fire is life
the night is time
ready to unfold
parents watching over you with perspective
Listen
before you lose your objective.
Into the fire
into the night
watching over you from a frightful height.

No biggie.
I have books that I've written and then read over 10 times and still have found mistakes in unlikely places. I guess it's easier to notice in someone else's work because I'm not worrying about my own voice saying what was written. Either way, looking forward to more poems put from your way.
