I lit a flame of hope in my heart,
To spread the optimism in the dark;
It was bright, bold and beautiful,
My dull, lull life was so delightful;
The flame soon turned into a fire,
The fire of expectations and desire,
The urge to have more and more,
Burning the heart with the scars sore;
It hurt the heart with disillusionment,
Burning to ashes that serene sentiment,
Then I learned that the flame must burn,
But, not expecting anything in return.

With the fires in CA devastating so much of both northern and Southern California, this poem takes on an unintended meaning. Poignant!
