The Fire (Part 3)
We all live in the dark
But the question is
Do you face the light
Or do you take flight
Into the velvet night
Swim in pools of black
Never to come back
Lost to the antithesis
Of your hearts preferences
Do not fear
The presence of shadows
Though they surround you
They cannot harm
For in your palm
You carry the fire
In that fight, you never tire
True, they will plague you
Your whole life through
The reward is worth the strife
So hold the torch up high
Watch the shadows flee
Fearing your loyalty
The zealous passion to divinity
So here I stand
I shall not run
I carry the fire
Of the One
Through the fire
I am whole
I claim it for my own
It is sustenance
From the cold
A guide in an unfamiliar world
The fire blazes bright
Slave to its rhythm
Hear it crackle and roar
I shall not lose it
Ever more
Now reignited
It will burn eternal
I will tend to it
Like a love maternal
