Fire

Blazing,
Luminous with its bursting ego.
Hot,
Flames dancing,
To the rhythm of its own unruly winds.
Embers,
Jumping in an anticipatory prayer,
For the release.

I am the Fire,
.. The Bursting Ego,
.. The Dancing Flames
.. The Praying Embers

I am the fire within myself,
I burn,
As inside, so outside;
I wait, turning amberoid under the sky blue & black,
For the embers to ebb away,
And the heaving chest of Life’s museum, to sleep..
