To Light? - a drawing by T Newfields created in August 2000

To Light?

If your body were a match
would you choose to ignite
or remain in a box
covered from sight?

If we become fearful
of opportunities
are we like dry sticks
and symbols of obscurity?

Only by risking
can we achieve
moments of existing
beyond the dry wood of our being –
Soyez vivant tout en brûlant!
