Some people have a little fire somewhere inside.

It doesn’t show up on x-rays,
you can’t see it glowing at night 
(except when you can.)

It fuels a drive, an energy, 
a tendency to shine
Even beneath an overcoat
Or hiding at the back of the room 

Sometimes it rains
It drizzles for days
It pours

And yet the fire is still there.
