From the beginning we have learned
the power of flames in their conflagration
We stand back from the blaze of hatred to not be burned
Yet in passion's inferno we baptize ourselves, in self immolation

Clever words Soren and so meaningful.
Andy
Thanks so much Andy for the review and kind words
deep themes, celebrating
legacy in poetry's, rich
philosophical heritage..
a wonderfully contemplative write
a thought provoking read, dear Poet
(Prometheus, abounds
freeing our ancestry from dependency
on cryptic, mythology
then comes, progressive modernity
adamantly striving
to reverse humanity's evolution
to a state
of collective, regressive
cognitive slavery
for fear of finite's inevitably
liberating, serendipity...)
Thanks L.B. I didn't know that, that small spark would ignite such flames of the oracle. I look most forward to your comments.
Fire touches us in so many ways. You capture literally and figuretively the passions that burn for better or worse. Quite astounding!
Thank you Bella for you welcome review and kind words.
