"Touched By Fire"

You sleep so soundly

you sleep so deep,

touched by fire,

you do not scream or weep.

Instead you fly into a state.

In silence you breathe,

in silence you brood.

Touched by fire,

you reach heights hard to elude.

You never want to travel there,

without a proper invitation.

You walk among the clouds

you walk among the stars,

Touched by fire,

you see a face covered with scars.

Lines of age from worry

you might really try to fly.

Timothy Michael DiVito c1993
