Replying to a comment on:

Faith (Free verse) by INTRANSIT

Fire leaps at the sky, trying to lick every star it can reach. Does it not know itself? Is it not aware of it's earthly origin? Yet it refuses to quit jumping. Reach fire, reach! Leap away!

again: the word is its here--no apostrophe.
Here is a simple rule of thumb to use to decide if "its" needs an apostrophe or not: If you can SUBSTITUTE
it is, use it's. Otherwise, do not use an apostrophe.
I like the metaphor, that faith is a fire, and how you carry the metaphor through the whole poem.
