FIRE BENEATH THE WINGS
This fire that burns
Flames so hot
That scares me not
The flames so hot
A fire
Burning, scorching, sweltering and searing
Around my body
Powerful
Controlling
Formidable
Feeling
Yet it is not burning
By body
The flames are flickering
Dancing, curling, swirling
Elevating and upraising
The flames
Through mind
Body and soul
A peaceful serenity
The stillness, the quietness and the calmness
All around
Wings unfurled
Raised to the heavens
Golden, golden
Transparency
Transparently
Eyes fixed to the sky
Golden stardust, golden stars
As far as can be seen
Arms outstretched
This body transfixed, mesmerized
Spellbound, hypnotized
I cannot resist, desist
Nor will I resist
This powerful energy
This fire
Does no harm
Here I stand in
Complete
Composure
Poised
Sang-froid
Cool
Calm
Collected
And at peace
