Flames of fire

"There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up." NIV Exodus 3:2

A Flame of Fire burns deep within my soul
A tiny spreading blaze of light; heat grows
Enlarging, consuming eating my whole
My being, aflame in joy as I sow.

As I search and search for truth, no cease
Tunnels of oxygen fuel inferno
Like a blazing furnace full draft, released
Roaring upwards, to heaven's sky, I go.

Attracted by God calling, "Come to Me"
My spirit soars upwards, hopelessly
Purified of mire I rise in fire, free
Leaving the earth below, in ecstasy.

As God shines Light on dark man's evil lies
Returns me through Her Sweet Warm Woman's Womb
Burns me in peace and joy as my flesh fries
My spirit leaves a shackled earthly tomb.

And as my heart is filled with Love and Care
My flesh dissolves as I join God in air.

In Flames of Fire.

A nice pyre-y poem
Like the mood and tone to it.
