The fire within
It burns away fiercely
And never shall it emit such flame again
But once on that swollen man
-
The light surrounding
Its force would blind thee
And the sun could not challenge it fairly
For it was the power of the man
-
And the heat
Its warmth a tempting comfort
But it would scorch and blister its foe
And it was built around the man
-
The colors so bold
They frightened each other
And into a dance of rage they would go
And they fought in circles above that majestic man
-
Memories themselves inside
They became etched in the mind
And memories more than memories would exist

And regret will come to the man
-
Hatred will come
Joy will come
Confusion will come
But the regret shall always envelope the man most
-
A scream will come
It will rip open the air, now congested of smoke
Again and again with terrible shrieks
And pain will come to the man
-
The burning will slow
Memories will again become internal
And the flames of death will subside
Just to return again to the mauled soul of the man

Believe on Jesus' Name!"
What's

The flame sparked from way within,
where a blazing fire will begin.
A burning out of control, from the
deepest depth of our
Fire within,
Though significantly important to alter the synergy
We are merely nothing but specks in the dust
Living within
What is this passion that hungers for drive,
A burning, an aching, and monstrous revive?
Dwelling in me like a ravenous beast,
