Refining Fire

Refining fire
Unbridled, untamed
Hot to the touch
Around my heart wraps the flame

What was meant to suffocate
Bursts into ashes and I
...gasp

Unobstructed breath
Flowing in and out
Filling up more than my lungs
God, it feels good to breathe

But You're not done with me yet
Grasping me then releasing me
...free to fall

Continuous choice
A step away from the ledge
Another down this path
It's not golden but it holds strong

As long as my focus remains still
Burning or breathing, running or walking
...I believe.
