Survivor Challenge #1 Quest for Fire

			fire is life

so so very very cold
here i walk foot after foot
drenched in the snow
freezing with each step
	          each breath

i thought i knew cold
	til i walked uphill in 3 feet of unplowed brilliance
searching for a shortcut
		and finding none

i search for warmth
			heat
				fire
	in the beating of my heart
	in my feet as they seek
	in my every-
                               thing
		even my thoughts have slowed like molasses in the cold
			turning to slush with one thing on my mind

fire


	fire to warm my heart
			bringing it back from the brink of emptiness
			finding hope in the fire inside
			finding hope and heat
		i thaw from the outside in
			my heart losing walls i formed of ice & anger

				   losing walls
						i formed
							  of ice & anger


but here i am trekking up the hill
	walking like my life depended on this quest
	this quest to find my home
		     to find fire
				to thaw me, to honor my hearth
					Bowing to Hestia
					thanking Prometheus
			fire is life

fire 
is
life
