Life on Fire
Jul 23, 2017 · 1 min read
We all begin as a flicker;
a spark of opportunity.
The scorched kindling of our potential sends us up
in a blaze
combusting into scales of rose and feathers of gold;
the beauty and magic of our electric souls
manifesting from within.
From the earth
we rise on fire
to dance amongst the clouds
with the sun and the moon
in the light of our own incandescence.
But one day our dance will dwindle
and ease back to the ground
where we lay as low burning embers
that eventually
smolder
out.
It is then we must choose
to be built
or destroyed
by the ashes.
Should we choose to rise
perhaps death is not our only guarantee
but forever is;
an awakened opportunity.
