"The Clarity of Fire"

 "The Clarity of Fire"

by:

Virgilio F. De leon Jr.MD

I

I grow tired

Waiting for the flames

So I take my first step

And become embraced by the fires

II

And for a moment

All that was pure emerges

No longer hurting

No longer remembering

III

Just that moment

A clarity long withheld

There finally revealed

Among the dancing flames
