BURN



You are the flare that ignited 
From the tiniest little spark 
Fueled itself to an inferno 
With a stray floating breath 
And lit up the deepest dark 
Oh! Look at you coruscate
 And make your indelible mark!

Watch the ambers vie gloriously 
With tangerines 
In an intense dance of possibilities 
Invoking all those might-have-beens 
Weaving them meticulously 
Into tapestries of insistent dreams 
Painting your dazzling destiny. 

You are not the wildfire 
That grew up in the vagrant gust 
You are the blaze streamlined 
To reach high, and touch the sky 
Chiseled from the worldly dust 
You're the heart of every star born 
Every exhale of the magnificent sun 
And each time you're burnt down 
Into the ground 
You’ll rise from your ashes, like a phoenix 
And burn... 

Singe the world with your flames 
You must! You must! You must! 
Today, it’s your turn.
