I awoke one night to the color of flames coming through my blinds. Going outside I saw my neighbor's house up in flames. This reminded me of that incident. But then it hit me it could be metaphoric as well and those life fires that burn down our homes and threaten our lives drain our inner and outer eyes as our friends watch us go down in flames so to speak. So short but contains so much.

There's so many emotions lingering within. I think when ' flames dance disrespectfully, ' that's not a good sign.
