Blazing Light


A flame lights upon the earth.
It’s form shrouded in shadow,
It’s purpose as a weapon. 
The malice following, the burning, the killing.
The past, run away from.
Darkened ashes smoke with half-life.
A cold man wanders upon the wreckage,
and cultivates the fire again.
Anew, the black phoenix rises.
The fire waivers in the traveler’s eyes.
Sad. Icy. Blue.
The shadow dances, trapped in ice.
She glimmers with an inner light.
Her dancing form turns. The ice encompasses.
A raven shrieks “trapped!”. A Trickster watches.
The shadow-flame snickers.
A warrior glowers. No more hiding. 
The spirit goes higher. 
Instead of snuffing the darkened flames,
[The Ice] reflects them.
Brightens them. Makes both halves, whole.
Makes fire give light.
