Through Fire

I fell to Fire –
A burning lust,
And breaking sacred bonds, I fell

My mouth defiled,
My mind – disgust,
And in my heart did darkness dwell

But then, so kind,
A saving touch,
Upon my wretched soul befell

And Seraphs cried,
And Devils – crushed,
As I crawled, ugly, out of hell.

The fall is always so much easier than getting up afterwards. Very well written poem, full of emotion that speaks to the soul....Linda
