Staring Through Fire

Seated beneath the tree of life
Vertical and in a trance
Spine is in alignment
And my eyes are closed.

Focusing on my breathing
Imagining my pain as a torch
Under my breath i can see it flickering
Creating an intricate dance.

Staring through fire.

I begin to see the doorway open
Staring through the fire
I can see the doorway opening in my mind.

The orange light dances
creating intricate design
Staring through fire
I begin to see the doorway open.

Staring through the fire
I can see the doorway opening in my mind.

I can see the waves crashing on the shore
I am as high as a cloud
I've risen high above.

The wind's gust softly keeps me on track
I can hear a voice calling me back
I can feel her reach for me
Unable to break my petrified stance.

All organic tissue has been replaced by minerals
Frozen in time
She weeps at the sight of what i've become.

No more shall i exist in agony
Never again to return
My reality is gone
Transcending the earth
My soul now exists
Only within space.

I am lost and there is no returning me.

I'm a conscious being
Who is perfectly neutral in every way
Existed in two parts
A body and a mind
Now i am one.

Staring.

Staring through fire
The unending flickering dances with my soul
Staring through fire
I let the light and warmth envelope me.

Staring through
Through flame
This is what i was always meant to be.
