A Mask Set Aflame

A Mask Set Aflame

A Poem by Erudite
"

Pure

"
  My haze subsides as I binge, drowning myself in the purest of waters. I've spent much time stitching together these new wine skins, now I'll fill them to the brim with my new addiction.
  Come quick, and taste the stars!
  Come from wherever you are!
  Leave that desert far behind
  Never look back to the chains that bound you.
 
  Ignite my heart and fury. Stoke the fire and burn me away.

  I can feel you melting down my steel heart. Oh how great a mold you'll pour me into! When the time comes that I'm finally made in a new image, I'll polish myself until I have a mirror's shine and all who look to me will see You.

  Trees are burning. Ashes fall. In the heart of a wildfire my soul is revived.
