I SEE THE FIRE

 

In your eyes

I see the fire.

You aspire to rise

To heights undreamed.

You've schemed to be free

Of all restraints;

You paint

Pictures of your own success.

Excesses beyond all that you know.

Right now.

Explore, I implore you

Horizons far beyond your dreams

You have the intellectual means

To reach out and achieve

Far beyond anything that seems

Like the ceiling of your needs;

Your wants

And your desires;

You're not one who tires easily

Of the eternal quest

The test

Of human limitations.

Imitations of who

You could really be.

Restricting your vision

Of all it is that you could perhaps see;

And understand.

To what it is that you aspire ?

What gives spark to your awesome fire ?
