What Is Fire?

This is about fire as it relates to the fire signs in the
zodiac in the love signs.


You cannot hold fire in the same way
you hold other things.
Fire is spontaneous and difficult to possess.
You cannot control it unless you plan a way
to put it out; and, even then, you cannot win
by destroying it, for the day will come when
you will crave its warmth, to watch its glow,
to hear it crackle. You walk around fire gently.
Fire puts itself out when there is nothing left.
Fire can nurture, destroy, inspire, protect, warm,
purge and save. Fire is difficult to forget or forgive.
Those familiar with fire know how to handle it.
They feed it lots of wood. Fire is exciting—
talkative or silent. It requires respect
and a good place to enhance its qualities.
Dramatic and quick, fire knows no age
or handicap. When trapped, it jumps
over fences, dances over rooftops
and keeps on going, inspired by dead leaves,
dead grass, dead trees and the wind.
