Some, joined, to help people

To do good works

Others

For benefits and security

Not me

I joined to fight

Fight fire

I wanted to lay my head

Across those cold steel rails

Feel the intensity of the heat

Bearing down

The raging fury

My friend, my enemy

Fire

To crawl on my belly

Into the beast

Knock it down kicking and screaming

Soiled but living, always rising

Again

Both of us, to meet

Fire

A Fireman is a hero who risks his life daily to save others. Through yore wonderful talented write I was able to experience what dangers a fireman must face, they should be respected and treasured! SC

Sounds like you have met the beast first hand: wanting to confront it, wanting to defeat it, wanting to overcome fear of it: most excellent, with many memorable, taut lines and images!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

ahhh....a wee bit of pyromania? almost a smoke jumper heartbeat view? or a loverly brazen blazed metaphor for the raw things that life brings. ..adored the ending "soiled but living.........both of us, to meet Fire"; a tender finale [pardon the pun :} ]
gorgeous and intelligent
.ness.
