fire

There is this thing to fire
that it purifies
somehow...
for every time i have burnt
and come out alive
...or at least alive in bits
i have felt
something unnecessary
dissolve
something meaningless
find meaning
pain find lessons
joy find longevity
that can no longer be taken away
and that would forever now stay with me

there is this thing about fire.
may i never forget that i loved.
and may i love forever
even if i burn - forever.

there is this thing about fire.
it makes you brave
it cleanses the soul
do i strive to survive?
or to be purified?
merely survive? merely purified?
or more?
at the end...if there is one...
will i be a pheonix?
or ashes - merely?
at the end
if there is one...
