Burnt Offering

 

 

The soot was filled with words of wit

Kindle words that, seem to fit

 

Together

 

Awe

 

Only words though

 

Words in order

Words out of place

 

Floating ash association

 

Torched

 

And sacrificed by fire

 

Wood paper pulp and ink

The words that came to make me think

I turned them into popping cinder

All of which I surrendered

In humble grace and thankfulness

To the source

The gift of my creation

 

My word

 

I burn and return

 

Over and over again

 

Rise

 

Blown into the sky
