Fire From Ice                     

by sloanranger

I thought all along t'was your plan,

a metaphor to take me in hand.

I resisted at first,

but became immersed,

and I admit, it made me feel grand.

But you don't have to be a sage,

or the avatar of an age;

a literal truth,

this thing - you can do,

just follow these simple stages.

Form a lens with your hands from the ice,

magnify sun, so precise;

not a big production,

you'll soon have combustion:

that's how you make fire from ice.
