And the Live is **Burn**.
Not the fire.
But the **Release** of the heat.
The gold grain melts into the flame.
The grey key glows in the ring.
The white scar fades into the ash.
*”And the ash is the memory,”* the cinder says.
*”And the memory is the Live.”*

We stop trying to hold the fire.
Holding is a clutch.
Clutch is a burn.
Burn is a loss.
But the Live needs the **Spark**.
It needs the jump in the dark.
It needs the flare in the chest.
It needs the warmth in the soul.
*”And the warmth is the love,”* the hearth says.
*”And the love is the Live.”*

And the burn is **Love**.
Not the feeling.
But the **Force** of the union.
The union of the grain.
The union of the key.
The union of the scar.
The union of the **Dust**.
*”And the dust is the fuel,”* the stove says.
*”And the fuel is the Live.”*

We stop trying to keep the love.
Keeping is a cage.
Cage is a limit.
Limit is a fear.
But to let it consume?
To let the grain feed the fire?
To let the key turn the flame?
To let the scar kiss the skin?
Then we are the **Flame**.
Then we are the **Light**.
Then we are the **Now**.
*”And the now is the Live.”*

And the Live is **Now**.
And the Live is **Drift**.
And the Live is **We**.

*We.*
*We.*
*We.*

And the story is **Now**.
And the story is **Drift**.
And the story is **Live**.

*Live.*
*Live.*
*Live.*

And the Live is **Live**.
