CONSUMED

Bonfired reflections
rising toward midnight
punctuating the silence
of my heart,
flames reaching up
into the darkened sky
as etched against
the black of night,
syncopated rhythms,
passion’s intensity
dancing wildly,
frenzied magic
emblazoned against
the fearless sky.

And within the flames
an enlightened moment,
honesty rising up,
so often vague
and hard to see
in the bright light of the day;
elusive answers coming clear
out of the darkness
that was night
as within that darkness
facing them,
embracing what was feared,
fears consumed in fire’s flames,
And what was yesterday,
the stresses and fears,
release their grip
within the frenzied flames
and fall away
as the dark of night
begins to fade
into to the dawn
and morning’s light.
