Breathe. It is the first action you take in your life, and is one you do unconsciously until you can do so no more.
Fire. Life itself is fire, something that is so powerful, yet with so much potential to cause damage to that very life it embodies.
Breathe in. Prepare that energy. Take in what gives you life.
Breathe out. Release that energy. Give back the power that you have received from the earth in the form of fire. The breath of life.
But you can't. At least not to your full potential.
You. So cool under fire, but isn't fire the force behind your life? Life has rarely given you much, and in return you don't give it much either.
Fire. A means for living, no longer an extension of the fire within. The power that is raging within you, but that you keep from the world in fear of going too far, in fear of not going far enough.
Death. You believe, how can fire be life? It has taken so many lives away, even those who gave you life.
Breathe in. You accept what life gives you, and you expect very little.
Breathe out. You make more out of life that what it gives you. But it is still not enough. Something is missing.
Breathe in. Life has given you something someone cool under fire cannot take.
But yet you can.
Breathe out. You, so cool under fire, give more than you were given, but are still not giving enough. You do not embrace the fire within.
Yet she does.
She who never hesitates, who is given a destiny so much larger than herself. She has been given so much, yet has to give so much in return.
She is fire incarnate, but a fire that could burn out of control.
Breathe in. She, very nearly a woman and very nearly an immortal soul.
Breathe out. You, who gives more than he is given, knows not what to do.
Breathe in. She, who must balance the whole world embracing not only power, but also substance, freedom and change. She knows not what to do.
Breathe out. You, so very cool under fire, starts to give off more than what you were given, so much more than before.
You. Accept the girl who has been given so much and has so much to give back.
Fire. Her destiny is now intertwined with yours. Her duty is now a part of yours.
You. No longer so cool under fire. Have you shared this with she who you never asked for, but somehow deserved?
Breathe in. She, the very embodiment of fire, who has been given so much and is giving so much back?
Breathe out. You, given so little, yet finally giving so much back. Obtaining a destiny greater than the sum of your parts along side hers?
Embrace the fire. She is your breath of life.
