the chaos outside
heart encircled
i am inside
washed in flames
the burning rises
taking me under
world in hunger
starving my soul
surviving the boundary
of my heaven, my hell
chaos swallows us
nowhere to hide
bathing in fire
head goes under
scorching my soul
with the light of god
this body purged
all just cinder
i breathe the flame
as free as air
flesh rising above
fire pulling me under
this place i found
turned inside out
luminous peace
resting in chaos
i kindle the light
shining from under

This poem is about finding your heaven in this hell were in. A meditation of centering as regardless of what state we are in. Allowing yourself to become the light of the fire that burns us until it shifts from burning us, to us fueling the new light to find the way to balance.
