"Burn" by Ellie Goulding

48-Hour Challenge Media Prompt

I'm going to take several lines from Ellie Goulding's
song "Burn" and start a poem from my own words added. I am
going to italicize her words. I did my best to italicize her words
from memory. I have revised the poem since I wrote it.


We don't have to worry about anything{/b
What a wonderful thought to have!
It's our time to take a turn;
We'll burn one hell of something.

They will see us from outer space/i}
Let's take time to set the pace.
{{i}Raise our handsb}
raise them high to
the shiny blue sky; raise them high
and don't ask why.

We don't want to leave
let's cleave to one another. Soothe
out the edges of life's domain;
and smooth them over with a
four-leaf clover.

Now, we just want to be right{/b}
Take a flight to see the sights.
We were guarded by love
When the lights went down.


It's the perfect time to join the choir
We got the fire; It's a good time not to
doubt or pout. I'll burn it out. Giving
love to the world:They will know when
they get a good word; it's what they've
heard.


Ellie Goulding did an excellent job with her song
"Burn" in the video. It made me feel good to hear
the music. Giving love to the world is very good;
this is the way that it should be. We can light up
the fire, not forgetting to burn it out.
