Mist and fire

I live in mist and look at fire
I take the kiss and touch the wire

The mist is cold upon my cheek
The fire I see plays hide and seek

I cannot pin the fire down
The mist is all around the town

The mist is changing shapes for me
It shows me things I like to see

The fire is hard to understand
It blazes forth and burns my hand

The mist relieves the fire in me
The fire outside waits patiently

The mist attempts to hide the flames
With hit and run and fun and games

I hold the mist and love the fire
And one is true and one's a liar
