Fire

Light a torch to the darkness
where the ghosts and the monsters
whisper behind the nights’ curtain

The subconscious self
nudging forward on its path towards liberty
intoxicated to undertake its new
in impetus, it propels

The spirit of life
treading where failure lurks
where ridicule anticipates
success ransomed

Still, the emblazoned self
burning with sacred direction
Fires the soul to pursue
creation
in death
is where
I and I
Renew
