Fire
The flames lick at my fingertips as I dance around the fire.
My arms reach towards the wonderful heat.
I touch the burning orange glow and watch as the ashes fly.
My foot brushes the embers as more sparks soar.
I feel nothing.
No pain.
No heat.
Nothing but power.
Glorious power.
I yell out to the sky that I feel nothing.
She cries to me.
Her tears fall upon me, fall upon the fire.
Slowly, the embers begin to die out and fade away.
And all of a sudden they no longer glow.
I feel the power slowly leave my body.
I see the soft light go from the sky,
and once again,
I am shrouded in darkness.
