Description
A spark ignites

the parched, unguarded prairie,

licking up the grass with red-hot tongues

jumping the creeks and vaulting over fireguards --

consuming the houses with its passion.

In the fireplace,

the same spark lights to warmth

and power, comfort and sustenance.

Banked to embers, at night,

there is always that potential.

That spark, in me, is my love

and desire for you, burning

gently as the hearth-fire,

exuberant as the prairie fire.

It warms my heart.
