I’m not always able to express with words exactly what my soul desires to express. I get wrapped up in the intensity of what my body is experiencing and I just let the words flow. Then I share those expressions as a way to challenge those reading my words, to confront whatever it is that is struggling to come through their very soul. This poem is about burning my fears to ashes and bringing myself back to wholeness. How do you express your soul’s yearning for freedom?
Fire rising from my soul Burning through the veils of fear Bringing to ashes the walls of my confinement Freeing me from the shackles of suffering
Fire that consumes my past – That dictates where I should be Fire that licks and destroys The anguish within me Liberating my heart and opening my path
Fire that dances all around me In perfect rhythm and movement Hypnotizing my mind and moving my body In balanced harmony Arousing the lioness strength Within my heart
Fire that strengthens my calling That leads me to my newness Ignites my passion And gives rise to the wise woman within – Kahlia
Fire, oh great fire Of ancient times Burn my soul With your powerful flames
I walk through you United with your light I emerge on the other side Skin intact Heart aflame Like a torch That sets fire to fields Burning down any remaining limitation – Of beliefs that hold me back
I find in you my gentle voice And yet, resounding sound That neither frightens or is meek It empowers and awakens That which must crack open In order to seed and bloom Cleansing my soul Purifying my senses Bringing me to my explosion Shattering me to pieces Just to bring me back to my wholeness
