From the Fire

Turning, they walked away from the circle
back to life
some back to stress 
some back to the joy that awaited them
Each a different story to pen
Each a personal quest to continue

Minutes before, they had set in motion a
manifestation
She needed to remind them today
that this remains in motion
That which they burned in the fire
shall come to fruition

A seed must crack to grow
Once the fruit is produced
the plant dies
returning to the earth to begin 
again
It grows another year
or perhaps in its death
creates a space for new life to
flourish

In the sweet release of death
newness is born
Allow the small death
so grand, new life can
be yours as you
manifest that which you seek


From the fire comes a gift
Forged in the intense heat of
the burn
risen from the ashes of fear and failure
to become JOY and PEACE

Let the fire gift you
let it come and be 
realized
When we burn again, together
we shall be stronger
for having accepted 
this gift

From the fire
next time
we shall allow even more
so that we can give
even
more
together
