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
