Poetry Break - 'Into This Fire' - an original poem

Into this fire

I’ve been before

A blue cold burning

That consumes what’s hot



This great fall

Just can’t find gravity

Nothing to attach to, the

Most eccentric Star in its path



Water won’t quench

This thirst blazing my throat

Gall won’t heal these wounds

The quiet scars of the wounded man



Neither animal, nor angel,

Mere human, now human,

I unite to you in your pain

And feel what you’ve felt



No other way to connect

But through this pain I’ve not felt

Now feel, a sponge now for suffering

A crucible for angst…



But what winds whisper

Through my airy rooms,

Offer healing to the ragged wounds

Tropic airs in arid plumes



Fog the windows and this tomb...
