Fire, you ask?
What would you do if somebody, just for you,
took the veil off all of universe's secrets
and spread all of knowledge in front of you,
what would you do with it?
But fire?...
Even Prometheus
was nailed to the stone.
It must be one's own choice.
Don’t ask any to carry
your own peril.
I carry it in my heart.

Very wise and very lovely. Terrific poem.

I have always had a soft spot for that guy!
He was indeed a legend and luck for us we have fire. Your poem is excellent!

Poignant and so well written. Loved this

The fire of love and passion and humanity is indeed a choice and either one accepts it and carries it in the heart (and the eyes) or one doesn't. Your choice is beautifully written here, Sonja - as always.

deep, personal, penetrating, stabbing to the marrow of the attentive informed reader. asking nothing in return for a luminous sparkle of inner light. marvelous.

Thought provoking poem; I like the juxtaposition of the secrets of the universe and fire. So many echoes in poetry. We can only tell what they ask. Best wishes sweetie!

Outstanding
I liked how you developed the theme of this poem using questions to make the reader stop and think. I also liked how you included an element of myth and the final line is simply brilliant. Best of luck in the contest.

Interesting pen my friend, gently telling one to make their own choices. I love your afterthought, indeed!
Good luck in your contest!
love and blessings,
