Flames like you and I
are never content
to smolder
inside the finite walls
of the lying mind
knowing our heart roars
and is kindled with
the bones of dead beliefs.

Flames like you and I
are pulled dancing
into the infinite wildfire
of Truth
where the heat
ascends beyond limited,
suffocating concepts
and consumes all that is
in the blazing holy fire of
The Self.

Flames like you and I
will never be extinguished
being fueled directly
by the breath of God
we burn
in eternal tribute to
The One
who began this
ecstatic combustion.
