Burning Fire

Burning fire, red tongues licking Crackling heat, crimson flicking Earth, dust and ashes form a pyre flames of forgiveness growing higher I sit, I scream, I cry and I shout Every tear I shed won't put this fire out You have gone, somewhere else you dwell Pile of burning cinders, nothing but a shell Feel the peaceful spirit birds and trees Nature seems to calm me, sudden breeze then I stop, think and I start to smile Cosmic meeting was all worth while I lay here hours till break of dawn Comforted white widow, silent morn Love is strong, our spirits will greet different time and place, again we'll meet True love, your beauty rare thing to find close my eyes you're inside my mind burning fire, red tongues flicking Crackling heat, crimson flicking Gone is the pain, as I bathe in glory For having you dear, in my life story

In the midst's of this piece you write the word calm, but I found the reading a frenzy of thoughts and images. Great words, nice poem on devotion, best of luck in the contest.
