We belonged and thrived around the fire
Yet now, as the fire dims, it leaves us isolated in solitude
Life is difficult for everyone,
And yet, unnecessarily, we endure our struggles
Separated in our small, illuminated cages
Unable to resolve everything, yet we yearn to offer
The compassion and love we all deeply crave
Let's all yearn for the fire once again
Around the shared fire, we can all carry it
Together
Carry the fire
