Burned by love

Perhaps the depths of this fire that burns

Will bring the soul to truth

Perhaps the pain of ruin

That comes upon us

As we sit amongst life’s ashes

Will be the saving grace

That takes us home to love

For is love here in the burning?

Is love here in the ache?

Is love still lying here

Hidden deep inside the ashes?

Sometimes it seems the fire has burned you so clean

There is no longer any room for love

Left here

And then as dawn rises

You wake to the singing of a bird

So shattering

In piercing your heart

It makes your soul break

Open to truths the fires obscured

When they burned away

The path to love
