Set Me On Fire

I sat alone under the night sky bathing in it, the blue light of that great moon. I let it wash over my shoulders and become luminescent upon the long line of my untamed hair. I spoke to you across time and space and my heart poured out and spilled over and eventually shed down the bones of my cheeks. I let the sounds fill my ears, and I wept.

Life.

She is so beautiful.

She is so painful.

She is breathtaking as she sweeps you up in the way that only she can. The unexpected falling. The unplanned ones. The ones who meet your soul, reach the hidden spaces, take you. See you.

There are no words for that rare gift. What a thing it is.

Life.

She is so beautiful.

She is so painful.

How I want her to set me on fire.

How I want her to steal everything I thought I knew and instead teach me the unplanned wonders I never expected to be shown.

Life.

She is so beautiful.

She is so painful.

So go ahead. Set me on fire. Light it all up. Give me a resting place for this burning in my bones.

Beautiful life. Set me on fire, spending every ember I can’t take with me. Let it light my time from here until it is finished, leaving the scent of smoke that could not be tamed and knew so well the blessings of fullness and love and courage.

Beautiful, unexpected life. What a gift.
