Baptised By Fire

Watching the flame waver hypnotically
The barest trace of blue flecked thru its orange red heat
It sparks a thousand emotions and memories
The fire that has been started consumes my inner demons
It wipes blank the slate of sins and regret
And gives life to a new soul free of the chains that binded before
Given wings of feathers, burned, to soar
To reach new heights and make things right.
This new soul, born of evil, baptised by Fire.
