Let it Burn
Becoming
Born of a single spark,
It rages inside you.
Towering, twisting cyclones
Blazing with the heat
Of all that's come before.
Let it burn.
Change is inevitable
And time only heals
If we allow the cycle to complete
In the cleansing.
Let it burn.
Let the sparks fly where they may
Carrying change
Spreading hope
With each new flame.
The stars, themselves, end.
Some simply collapse and fade.
Others blaze brilliantly,
Announcing their metamorphosis
In waves across the heavens.
Let it burn.
Leave what was, behind
And become the new you,
Forged in the flames
Of your own undoing,
Annealed by fire,
Tempered by time.
