Set fire

You set fire to me

I was a tinder box waiting to be lit

And I know now the truth that

Fire is what awakens the seed

That sleeps so quietly

All enfolded within its casing

To me you hold the memory of a summer

That got torn from me

As I lay shattered in that hospital bed

To me you also represent my younger self

On the brink of life

Cut to ribbons

So now if you come

As my new beginning

Is it my soul that summoned you up?

For it was you who heard the call

And answered the longing of my deepest heart

For a new summer

With love
