Sometimes, I Feel Like The Earth

— an ode to Fire signs, from an Earth sign.  

I’m an Earth sign, attracted to the fire,

Like a moth to a flame

Mesmerized by its complex colors and chaotic beauty.

Fire is capable of playing a vital role 

Fire warms me

Fire lights me up,

But sometimes fire hurts me

Too much fire it pains me

To the point it leaves me wounded

With a hundred-degree burns

Leaving me exposed

Skin the color pink like vulnerability.

Sometimes, fire could be good for me

When I’m all wet after a storm

And I need my spirit warmed

Fire is there for me

Fire is there to help light my path when I cannot see

When I take the time to stare into the fire,

something about it ignites something deep inside of me

I see the beauty of fire.

It offers balance when it is too windy or too chill

I know I can depend on fire to make things better for the most part,

Though fire is inconsistent, hard to control, and challenging to maintain without patience, skill, and knowledge

Fire can be chaotic and confusing…
