Deep in the mire
Past thorn and briar
Slept a fire
A sly supplier
Of burning desire
The night grew dire
The winds flew higher
Still dreamed the dreamer
Still climbed the climber
Through ash and ache
Through grief and wire
Through doubt's dark choir
And fear's cold liar
My soul rose higher
A flamewalker
A skywriter
Fueled by burning desire
Now stars inspire
Now horizons conspire
The heart's not tired
The heart's acquired
A truth far brighter
Those who survive the fire
Become the fire
Burning desire
