Speaking to the Fire

Speaking to the Fire is my communication and commitment to you!
Speaking to you was different from speaking with the others. 
Every word you stated was well received and pontificated within the mind of this listener. 
When I went further to establish a stronger communication it was well received with initial shock. 
Over the years we became stronger as acquaintances and then as friends. 
Only time and initial silence was a dagger plunged into my heart and a spiritual bullet to the brain
Even now your words and even your photo is a fire that keeps my spark for continual forward progression to keep moving forward. 
Your words and presence are the flame that makes the Olympic torch seem mallow in comparison.
I can only say, please do not let anyone dwindle your flame. 
You spoke of your hurt and sadness in more than one way. I felt this in a manner that only an empath could—I am an empath. I could see the flame dwindle as you told your story. If I could have eliminated that pain you were feeling, then I would have done it five years before, when we first met.
You are more valuable to your friends than to anyone who would try to harm you. 
The love we have is that of siblings, even with our time and distance
We were all ready to take on the ends together until fate separated us to pursue differently
It’s quite right, as we were both going for the same goal and will arrive at it differently
Although our goals have shifted to where our trilogy has different dates, I still see us as being in each others’ lives
You are my friend, the fire
I am the earth, as I can give a calming base
No matter what happens, I will regard you as my family, even if it is in the role of a sister from another mother.
