The Matchstick

See my match
Burn it down
All the way to the ground

You think I'm crazy to destroy
But let me tell you about a lass
Who's been known to have some sass

She struck the filament on the box
Dropped the fire
To let it roar
Was it to even a score?

The flames grew hot
She didn't give it a second thought.

Burning Match 2

People wonder if the heat bit back
Did the backdraft singe on counter attack?

Anyone who plays with flames
Knows getting burned
Is a phenomenon
Elemental to the game

Friction of phosphorus
Ignites the fire
Sulphur, Potassium Chlorate
Fuel, white heat

Oxygen stifled
Destruction spreads
The landscapes' burnt
Smolder fumes
black as dead

That was quick
I only had one
and now the deed is done

WAIT...

TIME...

ABSOLUTION...

Through watered eye
On black surface

A patch of green
Could be seen

Shell of seed
Protected life
Mineral, growth
Rain, rays from sun

New life has begun.

CHANGE...

Will the lass who struck a match
strike another?

She hopes not
It's not truly her nature.

For those who get me wrong:
My God was in control the entire time...and I don't (didn't) have malice in my heart... I was just willing to take the heat...like Jesus... What Jesus did for us on the cross burns deep in my soul after this whole experience. I say with this trying to be humble. I never want to experience it again (humanly speaking- I can't take another burn..)
I am ready for green, growth, life and souls to be won for Him as the result...

Judges 15:5

TOBY MAC...I just need u

*Isaiah 43:1-3

Also, the song 'Your So Vain' comes to mind... If you think this poem is about you think again... I know what the meaning is since I wrote it. Literary analysis is mine to keep. Only those who truly know me know what the poem means.  ;)
