IN THAT PURE LIGHT OF FIRE

In that pure light of fire
No shadows can prevail ~
Fire purifies all ~
Air clears away ~
Water washes absolution !
And Earth engulphs and embraces all.
The gift of fire
That in its path
Reduces all to ash and dust
That sheds light and brings warmth.
Lighten up and bask in the blessed light of fire
And welcome the flame that burns away.
