Breathless

I wonder

What’s the difference

Truly

Between a wildfire

And a candle?

How much they burn

How ones wrath is barely containable

And the other one is stuck in a minuscule world

Bound by gravity and chained by fate

To burn endlessly

In a single spot.

I pondered

Thought

Sighed

And realized

There truly is no difference

Because the candle fire would burn a forest if

Given opportunity

And that same flame in a wildfire

Could’ve instead started on a candle.

So

Today

Atleast today

When I have the most ample opportunity

I’ll try to maybe

To tip myself over

And burn wildly

Because I am a fire

No matter where I am

A candle

A forest

Or

As I rise and

Get situated

for my next sprint

The starting line
