Into the Fire

I see the fire before me

And still I walk ahead

I know the fire burns

And yet I forge ahead

I know the fire consumes

And I bravely move ahead



For when I lay in the ashes

Rebirth

And flight

It is interesting the fires I have chosen to enter throughout my life.  For some reason it is easier for me to jump into the fire for someone else.  If my children are in danger of any kind of pain.  I am there.  Sword drawn.  Without hesitation.  If a friend is suffering.  I am there.  If I see children outside my door being bullied.  I am there. 

Why is it that I hesitate to do the same for myself?  Do I fear the pain?  No.  Do I fear the retribution?  No.  Do I fear destruction?  No.  I hesitate because I question my worth.  What value does my heart hold?  What merit is in my soul?  What respect do my feelings deserve?  What benefit does my life offer to the world?

It is time for me to walk proudly into the fire.  It is time for the fire within me to consume me completely.  It is time for me to fly.
