Desperation

by Scott M Pratchner

I have searched these windy nights
For a fire to warm my heart
My limbs are cold and brittle now
Why won't this fire start?

I've waited for the logs to dry
I've waited for the sun
I've waited for my flint to spark
I've waited.
But no fire has begun.

Frustration creeps like icy hands
Up and down my spine
I hope with all my hoping glands
My fire starts in time

I know my fire will burn so hot
I know its worth the wait
But if I freeze before it lights
What good, if its too late?
