Leading fire

 Have you ever been lead on
by a burning fire
that gave you wings
to rise to the clouds
with happiness and excitement

The mind thinks it is different
the heart feels it is at a better place

Then you have your wings burned down
by the same fire that gave you all

You are left to fall,
but you won’t be hitting the ground
anytime soon

You are falling into a chasm
A endless pit of sorrow

The mind will be the first to hit ground
It will accept reality
realise it is over
and will be left with a scar
that will not easily be forgotten,
a mistake that will be learned out of

But the heart is the cause
for times of different ache

The heart is stubborn,
it clings on to the small threads
the memories of time passed
the thoughts that hurt
ever so much

It will believe that there still is a chance
to rise again to the blessing sky

the mind screams it is over  
the fire has faded

the heart will descend to deeper depths
until it reaches the point of realisation
it will see that as hard as it is to let go
it will never again fly with those wings
it will never again be lead on by that same fire

This is the time when the shields of denial
are shut down, and the impact approaches
the heart will hit life’s spikes
the spikes will pierce through
your heart will be left to bleed forever

The bleeding will be your end
if you don’t  find a knew fire,
that is life’s sickles
and yet we continue to stand back up
with the hope of one day
meeting the real true fire

The eternal fire that will be your sanctuary
it will be the only remedy
to your scars and wounds
