PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I stood and watched
the fire burn

so many of us
standing around her

in a circle
with our intention of love

burning the logs down
to red hot coals

"Earth my body...
Water my blood...
Air my breath...
Fire my Spirit..."

we watched her respond in color...
red...orange...yellow...blue...white...

so soft and gentle she became
preparing us for our walk...

red hot coals
menacingly broiling
poured along a 15 foot strip of sand
a pile of snow stands at the end

excited I was
my toes nearly frozen
eager to be near the heat
it was 10 degrees

"My body will do
whatever it takes
to let me walk on fire."

"My body will do
whatever it takes
to let me walk on fire..."

fear?...
what fear?
no fear...
I knew why I was there

Trust! Trust! Trust!
here to learn to TRUST

and what better way to learn
than to walk on fire and not get burned?
