Flaming Samurai Extinguised By Pissing Dog

From a tiny spark
It became an amber

Then flaring flame

Ending in raging fire

To be extinguished by a

dog's pee

Piercing a blade

To a beating heart

Weak

Beat

Weak

Beat

Beating weakly

Bleakly

Barely throbbing

Flat line

Flaming samurai was extinguished

by a ~~stupid pissing dog!~~

After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul, and you learn that love doesn't mean leaning and company doesn't mean security. And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts, and presents aren't promises. And you begin to accept your defeats with your head held up and your eyes open, with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child. And you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans, and futures have a way of falling down in mid flight. After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much, so you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure ... that you really are strong and you really do have worth. And you learn and learn ... with every goodbye you learn.
