A poetic, stream-of-consciousness meditation on fire as both literal and metaphorical force, exploring transformation, connection, and inner illumination through lyrical imagery.
I was drifting. No coal in the air. No pray slipping through the cracks. I was just alive. Inhaling the silence. The only spark that kept me sane. Ash in my palms blank page. Emptiness. Hands
closed tight. Held no blame. Ashes soaked the night. Thin throatated flame scream but never shattered my pain. In the glow the fire trembles slow like a heartbeat that knows its own rhythm.
It's not a dream. It's ancient. And it's true. It doesn't appear. It simply shows the dark krypton had always. All I needed was that one small ember.
I saw you in the blaze. I saw you in the light. But you saw me before the spark even started. Every sleepless night measured as fire light. The way we cling. I never had to walk alone. I was never lost, not disappeared. Your voice
carved in flame. A quiet promise. I froze when your eyes met mine. No hate, no judgment, just a steady star. Old scars, new horizons. You held them. Every breath, every tear, every I'm finished. You were there not to pull the
strings, just a witness standing by the ash. I've never been gone. Hand on the fire. Through the night silence I learn to breathe. You whisper my name in the amers glow.
If the world forgets this fire inside me, will you still remember the mark we left? The ash still lingers, still keeps its appeal. Forever breathing, forever free.
