the world is on fire

The world is on fire
the sky is a torch
the earth burns with love
the flames consume and birth us
every moment
we walk around oblivious
yet the sky is a fire burning with blue
and white and electric pink
the ground we walk on shatters
with every step
the moon we cry to looks at us in awe
the sun touches us in likeness
in light not in darkenss
life unfolds like a flower
breathing in the smoke of a thousand
forest fires the tree tops burn
yet they bloom
love in its anguish
blazes through the fearless ocean
down to its murky volcanic depths
The forms we take are surreal
as we saunter through the fire
making our way to its center
there the sunlight is a starbust
of white ocean
so the earth is burning.
All of us are burning
