The fire and the sun

What's the difference between a fire and the sun I ask?
Maybe just the size of the task?
The scale at which they operate?
The basis of life to exist and procreate?
But every night the sun goes, and leaves just a pale moon's reflection behind
In the desert, on a cold winter night, it's the fire that sustains your kind.

Did I just try to negate the basis of a phenomenon to satisfy a little fire?
But I say why bow to the sun and ignore the fire?
The tiny fire is an expression of the sun near you.
Just like Him, burning itself away to sustain you,
indiscriminate warm and bright
He might light up the sky, but he lights up the night

What to do poor guy only gets to eat coal and wood,
Smoking and puffing,  because that's all gather you could
And yes, he's not big enough to warm you from a million miles away
But he's yours to keep, whenever, wherever, night or day.

What meaning has size or scale?

In an infinite abyss anyway

But that's not really it isn't it

It's not about the scale of the heat

It's the dying of the fire that is its undoing

That it burns out too quick

Ah well, it's a silly fire

It'll do what it can and die out

Let it burn
