fire

and in graciousness i accepted thee
for, so beautifully, you came to me
quietly, a whisper, in my darkness

and your light
it cast a spell on me
glimmering, so delicately,
how i yearned to touch it

and as i grazed it
i felt it's warmth
as it singed
this flesh

forever burned
forever pressed

and this scar
on this flesh
is born proudly
for it signifies
the passage
to the light,
from my darkness

and that is how you will always be a part of me

continuing onward
you journey with me
even when you are not near me
