Inspired by the Malibu Fires in 1992.
This poem reads from a Fire's perspective
.............................................
FIRE, FIRE, HERE I AM
I have opened your
Eyes
I have opened your
Heart
I have opened the
Door
I have threatened you
I have caused disaster
I have no intention to take life - rather,
I save it
I just want to burn, to glow, to show me
My magnificent colors
Ironically,
I have tried to save you
From the fetters of this world
Do not deplore your destiny. Implore it!
You call me a beast
A beast that has devoured your very being
No my friend,
I have wakened your being
I have allowed you to feel
With your heart without a second thought
I have not only unlocked the door but
I have opened it
I have set your gaze on a spectacular sight, me -
Powerful, Dangerous, Terrifying, Horrific - Fear me
For fear itself leads the way
I have penetrated your heart
So that you may feel, maybe for the first time
The value, the love and the purpose of life.
I have become a wall of fire and
I have consumed
Your ridiculous material posssessions
That you have lived to acquire
Your fear, really was not my desire -
Go ahead call me a liar!
I have set your heart ablaze
Burn as it is the extreme awakening to your life; itís purpose.
For the jewel lost leads to the treasure saved
The treasure you never searched for,
Yet the treasure that awaits your hunt.
Because of me you can be a friend to yourself.
Enter your new world
Take your loved ones and live a detached life
Quench your thirst with the fountain of life that
Awaits you, an over abundance supply
Live true so that your spirit may live for eternity.
Fire, Fire, Now I'll go.
