Lighting candles

Reciting affirmations

Five red tongues

Flick from wick

Hands hover slow

Flames glide between finger webs

Close enough to touch

Gone before the burn

Welcome their heat

Burning impurities

Bolstering insecurities

Speak into the blaze

Quell the heart

If it hurts

It's only for a moment

God of Everdark Twilight

Ignite my soul

A black pyre

Keeps warmth within

No need for tithe or hymn

This is the Will Of Fire
