Fire

If everything was fire and burning eternally

One who sparked those intense flames

Exceptional luminosity gave a glimpse of life

Misunderstood the ignited consciousness

Speaking fire with fire- we charm ourselves

Trying to dominate and manipulate 

That essence of life lost in rousing uncertainty

Eliminating the sheen off edges of horizon

Senses unaware of those pure chants of fire

Misinterpreting light and warmth in the soul

Mystery of fire never revealed so easily

In silence, the glow speaks of enlightenment

It’s time to articulate the flames of pure being
