Inside Life's Fire


from the ABC set POETRY - A Passage of Motion 2

I want to lay upon the sun
and toast my feet

no longer wish to trod
cool earth below

only bathe inside a fire
of redemption.

Once I had such visions
within these bones

now only leftover ashes
are dreams in orbit.

A hint of masochism, but nice wistful sentiments !
