Choosing Fire

Location

Have you ever tried rekindling a fire

While another still burns?

The heat of one draws you in,

But the ashes on the ground

Torment your heart. 

Which will gain your favor?

The risk and passion

Or the security and easiness?

One is dangerous,

The other, a safety. 

Both are beautiful. 

But you can only be warmed by one. 

Which would you choose?
