Some say
Don't set yourself ablaze
To keep others warm.

Why not?
Be the light
While keeping form.

Make yourself
Fireproof,
A vessel for any flame.

Take heart
Forge your path
Without any shame.

Take heed
The trail of ashes
Along the way.

Take to
The skies
Come what may.

Keep pace
Like clockwork,
The stars in sight.

It's time
To be the fireproof
Beacon of light.
