Path of Fire

A dormant flame
resting deeply in the heart
has been ignited.

the fire burned intensely
ignited by lust
the fire burned relentlessly
nourished by ego
the fire burned furiously
fed by adoration
the fire burned ferociously
driven by passion
the fire burned chaotically
incited by bliss
the fire burned ecstatically
sustained by pride

until there was nothing left but ash
leaving nothing else but spirit
and a world humbled to its origins
ready to be reborn and burn once again
