Wildfires and Stars

A person is just

An intricate concoction

Of flower petals and scars

Mixed with wildfires and stars

They have radiance in their eyes

With darkness in their minds

And ice in their hearts

They're endless space

And ocean trenches

The tallest mountains

And the lowest valleys

They're cool lemonade on a warm summers day

And hot cocoa in a cold winters morning

They're waterfalls and deserts

But sandstorms and hurricanes

Ivy on a brick wall

And fleshy ground-cover

They're nothing more

Than fruit in the jungle

And nothing less

Than cacti in the desert

A person is just

An intricate concoction

Of nature
