Fire
There's something primal about flames and fire.
"As fire cleanses dross
May the flame of passion
Burn away what is false.
As short as the time
From Spark to Flame,
So brief may the distance be
Between heart and being.
May we discover
Beneath our fear
Embers of anger
To kindle justice.
May courage
Cause our lives to flame,
In the name of the Fire,
And the flame
And the Light."
