The Clash of Fires

Streaming rainbow of flashing fires
Holy war in the spiritual realm
Uriel with fires battle dark fires
Tragic was the world of dream 
As colorful fires clash in beams
Weaker spirits writhe in pain
When vision vanished in a gleam
I woke up and queried my brain


Note: Uriel is one of God's Archangels. He is known by his Flaming Sword or The fires that gush out of his palm. 
Feast: September 29
