Hit By Fire

Was I surprised at how tempting it was to get burnt?
Like brushing my hands over a stove of flames.
A short time to feel all the seasons.
Not enough.
Never enough time.
Feels so good to be warm.
Comforted in the unforgiving cold.
Ignoring expectations.
Solace in the feeling of freedom.
Until the right card is drawn.
Capable of creating the perfect deck.
The story doesn’t end with a king being alone.
He just dodges arrows that are red.
Till he catches the one that is green.
