False Alarm... Again
if you've ever woken up
with the whole place
suddenly on fire
it doesn't matter how safe
and comfortable your next bed is
every now and then
you will still wake up
with the intrusive ringing
of the fire alarm
in your head
because that's where
the fire still
burns

you will still wake up

the fire still
burns

Dear D,
Yes, how true and awful to wake up and realize there’s a fire raging that no one can see but the heat of lies and deception...what a fabulous poem with an outstanding analogy. H🌷

Great poem!
Keep the fire burning. The day will come when it turns into dying ember on the floor - only this and nothing more.
