Desire.

Your fingers will have a burning desire,
you’ll not know what to do with it,
they’ll spark, pain, and shed too much skin,
you’ll light them in the dark,
miles away from the ones you love,
nights away from the glory of sunshine,
you’ll observe, understand, and probe this
burning desire
your fingers will know your dreams and
your heartbeat each time it rises and falls,
you’ll light them in the dark,
a torch of hope, you call,
you’ll create something in this darkness,
you’ll need no candles, you’ll need no people,
you’ll need nothing to push you on the path you’re
supposed to walk,
your burning desire is the only light you’ll need,
you’ll transform between all the distances and spaces and
changes,
you’ll not just transform,
you’ll create,
remember how your fingers have a burning desire?
just learn to light them right and more often when there’s
darkness in your sight.
