Inside the Fire

I want to lay
upon the sun
and feel its warmth
toast my feet

no longer a need
to trod on
the coolness
of earth below

to bathe to delight
inside fire
and redemption.

Once I had such
a vision
an illumination
within my bones

now left behind
in ashes
memories in orbit.

This is really atmospheric. Though short, it's really effective and the last lines are a spit'n'polish finish. Well done!

Nathan.

Thank you, Nathan. I find myself trying out new avenues of expression, and they are fulfilling. Take care. Richard
