I stare long and hard at the flames
As if somehow the more I gaze,
Its unquenchable light would jump in my soul
And illuminate me forever...
I wish for the water
To submerge me and drown my thoughts
And I become one with my element,
Cool as ash...
Then the air would breeze over me,
Crisp and clean
And I would flow with it
Over a thousand seas...
I dream of planting my feet In the soft earth,
And digging further into her bowels,
Then drawing on her strength,
And ascending to the heavens...
Sticking my head above the trees of forever...
One with nature...One with all...
