Rage Fire Rage

Letting go of fear of failure

I step forth, crossing the threshold,

still shaky with uncertainty.

I walk into the fire.

Letting my hair catch first,

kindling my heart next,

flames sparking hot white,

spearing my eyes,

scorching my fingertips.

I dissolve into it all,

surrendering to the searing intensity

of the truth of my life.

I become one,

with both the suffering

and the ecstasy of eternity.
