Burn

A Poem by Mai L Nissen

To be honest, this poem is inspired by a multiple of feelings and different events... so don't really know what it is about myself :)

Burn through the floor

Burn as you fall

Quench out the water

Let it evaporate in the air

Burn through the pain

Burn as you arise

Shed all burdens

Let the ashes fall and settle

calm

I really like the first line. It resonates and drew an interesting picture in my head. The rest of the poem is great as well, but that first line informed everything else. Well done!

Hard to do, but we must. Burn away the sadness and disappointment and go forward. I enjoyed the logic of the words. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
