Flame
Stand in the fire
Let the flames burn away
All you wrap around your skin
To protect from fear
From pain
From loneliness
Let the flames flick your skin
Dance with your breath
Inhale the fire
Let it burn through you
Lighting the dark places within
Warming you
Softening you
Making you liquid love
Not rigid fear
And when the fire becomes
More than you can
Keep within you
Find water
