Fire Rose
flames rising in the east
warmth radiating through the land
pulsing heart of the earth
fire seed resting in the dark
day breaks with soft surrender
melting into graceful flow
waters lap and caress the body
infusing the cells of all
with each breath
she vibrates
with each sigh
she rests
massaging the fire seed
embracing in love
high overhead the sun beats down
calling to its own in the ground
waken my darling
it is time
fire from within
reaching out
rays of light in the dirt
breakthrough
vibrancy erupts
surging
form honours life
brilliant
robust rose of fire
glory
blossoms unfold in amazement
delicious fragrances tantalize the senses
petals dance as flames
sparking the seeds of life
fire seeds fill the air
as they float as burning embers
deep into the earth as ash
to populate the world with love
the sun sets
earth cools
fire seeds in bed
caressed
from one to many
life
