their two souls were
already fully engaged
in the flames
before either could
extricate themselves
from the inevitable
truth
their fear was
not the burning
but never knowing
love ~
their joy was
now bound together
with pain
and they were made
more pure
for the experience
they'd been
singed to their
very nostril hairs
they were survivors
who lived to tell
about withstanding
the heat
who will one day return
to dust
while their souls soar
into the heavens
fully engaged in the
flames
