Fire

Finer than the finest components of nature
Embracing the earth, water, air, and the ether
Par excels among sacrificial elements
Could this fire, yet, equal, Spirit's elegance...?

While fire mundane burns off the physical world
The fire of the spirit burns within curled, furled 
Purifying all internal iniquities 
Curing all Physicho-psychic infirmities...!

Love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, and gentleness
The fire of the Spirit leads to faithfulness...!
Wisdom, understanding, counsel, and fortitude 
The Spirit's fire makes one grow in gratitude...! 

Bathing into the worldly fire leads to grave
Doesn't the Spirit's fire, the human souls, save?
Mist each blind faith of fire that's born of a lie 
Will, the true yearning for the Spirit's fire, die...???
