Shredded Smoke-

And it's black There is a wave runnings of the White Snake The serpent flaming White Red Hots Stencils penciled in steep smoke rises up in the atmosphere over and beyond the mountainous hills Gathering molding on the ground O the freedom when I can breathe freely and be with him the fire blazed smoke calls my name channeling rambling firing upward past the second and first heaven smoke engulfs me the fire touches me the flame broiler burn me I am Touched by the Light But as it goes out I'm in the darkness And the frame still engulfs me amber glisson lit fire drops flames No longer the smoke involves me into a trance I can no longer dance I am bound by the smoke the fire rages it burns it burns it avails and in the trauma of my drama Sake gathers up like the cloud in the blue sky And I am lit like a candle light burning burning on I am stranded by the smoke I am embedded by the smoke and yet I Rise hoping my eyes they no longer Burns me I can breathe again for the smoke the stratus smoke distance Totally captivates I am freed by the smoke getting brace to me wavering fan rising above in I am delighted I am enthralled and through it all through it all the smoke I am embedded in the Clouds of Joy I can breathe better now the lightning flash I can now do my heaven dance and I am embedded in the life of God
