Alchemy

"The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed." -Carl Jung

I wish for fire to sear my skin,
only that I may be reborn
as the sun's warm rays,

and be the first to kiss your cheek
every morning as you draw your curtains.

I wish for tempests to gnaw my bones,
only that I may be reborn
as the calm, cool breeze,

and move through your lungs
as the gentle song which you sing to yourself.

And not once will I ask for recompense.

You have a gift with your words that allows you to metaphorically give deep meaning to basic emotions and actions. I like the pom and I look forward to other poems that you have to offer.
