A Fire Within Us

I dance in whimsical motion

Wild flames in the Mauka winds.

Crackling sparks; painted bodies

Of white, yellow and red aura.

 

Soft soil below my feet

Gently caresses my path to the heavens

I am awakened, alive and seeking

By the encounter of another being.

 

A circumference of twilight sparkles

Mesmerized and calling me closer.

A the fire that burns within us

Holding, rekindling my inner spirit.

 

Red to orange to black, then back again

Ash and smoke flow into the ebony sky,

Submerged, as each tip of flame

Breaks off to ignite another.

 

Cinders whisper gently, my pace intensely slower

Flickering soft ambers begin to plead

To the constraints of existence.

Beckoning, allowing a healing within

To sustain in everlasting light.

 

Free us from our ashes and smoke

Ignite our hearts with flames of passion and desire

Keep the fire within us burning

For one day we will know our way home.

It does evoke the sensation of staring into a fire. Nice job pulling at the spirit the way a fire neccesarily does.
