    Robert Frost
    “Some say the world will end in fire,
    Some say in ice.
    From what I've tasted of desire,
    I hold with those who favor fire.
    But if it had to perish twice
    I think I know enough of hate
    To say that for destruction ice
    Is also great
    And would suffice.”

    Love is not a forest fire that burns intensely, hotly and out of control for
    “Love is not a forest fire that burns intensely,
    hotly and out of control for a brief moment until,
    its expendable fuel spent,
    it sputters,
    seeking in vain for something else to consume,
    to sustain itself before, finally,
    it dies:
    cold, black ash the only evidence of its passing.

    Love is, instead, a campfire:
    it provides ample heat and comfort
    to the twosome who sit before it,
    and although its flames may at times wane,
    a well-tended campfire’s embers can be nurtured and fanned
    until the flames once again dance brightly and cheerfully,
    providing comfort to the couple
    who cherish the gentle warmth it ministers.”
    ― J. Conrad Guest, January's Paradigm
