Flame of God
I am drawn irresistibly
into a flame that means my death,
the flame of God that consumes everything.
Nothing can remain in its presence.
The only escape
lies in changing course,
veering free from the magnetic draw
the heart cannot defy.
The decision is mine
in the split second I have left
as I circle closer and closer.
Escapeor immolation?
Self or God?
What will it be?
I linger,
knowing the decision is made.
I have flown too close
to leave the sweet embrace
that melts me.
Willingly, I go
spinning out of control
as I burst into flam
vanishing
into the arms of Love.
