She stirs up red life
Her heart full of emotion
She broods in darkness
Her dance of sheer abandon
Naked beauty of the sun

Draw close, stretch out your hands and feel the passion emanating from the great emotional heart of the fire, the shifting and stirring of the crackling red of life that is ever-burning. Listen to the ancient beating drum of your knifed and silenced heart as you let go and bravely throw it into the flames and shout your agony before you receive it back renewed and full of love and fiery energy. Bathe your aura in the naked firelight and watch the smoke cleansing and then twirling into the air like silver ribbons journeying far away to another hemisphere where pain and broken dreams are drowned in a lake of acrid smoke. Climb and find the hidden key to your life. And when you burn and brood alone in darkness with the weight of turning so much heaviness to dead ash, remember when you are done to sing aloud of the re-igniting of love in your heart and dance with sheer abandon as the burning becomes lighter and brighter, stroked by the long red-fingered flames that will surely find you as you leap higher and higher in your joyful dance of victory before the naked beauty of the sun. Forget everything except the drumbeat of becoming whole, becoming one with spirit and your journey. Dance through the fire.

    As I said Jane – each better than the last. Another completely beautiful and incredible line that gently strums the chords of my very being. Breathtaking!
