We Are Not Burning

We are not burning. We are standing at the precipice, you and me Seeing everything that we can see. from such a great height, we can see everything. And I can see that we are not burning. We are changing; Shifting in the sands of time, but you'll be surprised to find that nothing changes if you keep moving along with the ever-shifting everything. We are not burning. We are soaring on high in an orange-tinted sky, looking for a new landing, praying to airy fragile gods that our seeds will find purchased on solid fertile ground and settle down into a new beginning. We are not burning. The fire can't touch our skin because it can not hurt us from within. We are the flame, and the wick is our world. - The world needs rest. And so do we. It is time to stop burning.
