Alight in Fire

by Gerard Traub

We are ancient embers glowing

hearts alight in fire

emerging from the shadows

born of sun and soul desire.

We are worlds weaving and unfolding

dreams hidden to the eye

a palette of many colours

beyond any shore or sky.

We are purest waters flowing

veiled in a circle of tides

endless breath fromblood to being

ascent by dance and stride.

We are countless atoms colliding

configurations traversing every flame

to embrace both tempest and calm

all becoming until soul reclaimed.
