a gentle rhythm
A gentle dance of intimacy
Feeding your flames with air and breath
Too heavy and I will put you out, strangle you
The heat will die and coldness will be left
A gentle dance of just enough and not too much
Of paying attention as you burn to charcoal and embers
Catching you at just the right moment before you die away
Adding more fuel to you
More to burn
Never forgetting
Always tending
The gentle rhythm of you
