Analysis of First comes the Fire
Changes come rapidly among us all.
First, comes the fire, and then the flames.
Reality is the flame that destroys the illusions of fantasy.
Water could never stop the flames of change.
What is your reality?
My reality is something that no one person could be prepared for.
The fires of change are here and like the Earth, I may be scorched but I will come back again stronger and wiser than before.
