Subdued flame

We all get burnt atleast once in lifetime
when fire rages in everything we have
sometimes our own mistake starts it
sometimes fate or another hand starts.

The fire rages through our very core
licking and devouring everything
that falls in its path to the least bit
its scorching flames dry our very being.

Put it out as soon as you can and rebuild.
Blow away the ashes and sprinkle with
the seeds of love, peace and happiness
and nurture them till they cover you again.

But before you scatter your seeds in life
be double sure that you have doused the flame.
Subdued flames have a deadly way of bursting forth
after burning deep down for a long spell of time.
