Cycles of Fire

I am fire
I am flame
I flicker, I burn, I shine, I glow
The more I can release
The brighter I can burn
 
When I forget to release
I forget to feed this fire
Snuff…..
I go out, smoky, choking
In to the dark
 
Ah, but in the dark I find things
Hidden things, forgotten things
Forgotten ideas, old patterns
 
I begin to glow
Bringing light to the darkness
Creating shadows
Discerning, bringing those old ideas out to dust off
Feeding the fire with these old patterns
 
And so I release
Burning brightly once more
Creating, transforming
Bringing projects to life
Dancing in the flames
 
Until…..
It is time to return to the dark
To rest
Delving in to the shadows once more
Finding more to feed the fire
Release, renew, transform, create
