Finally figured-out how to use something i wrote a while ago.

[burningpages]

i reach
soul-deep
into that fire
every ounce of self
every year of self-betrayal
no more

children laugh for lack of tears
hoping, dreaming, reaching forever further
casting themselves soul-deep
clutching life as it races
into ever-changing unknown

only miracles
only wonder
only learning
only peace

sing to me your lifesong
sing to me your journey
sing to me your passion
sing to me your love

i refuse to keep this life
of white knuckle desparation
ruled by blind and hateful
generations of the dead

release
to follow un-named paths
blood which flows so savage
untamed
untouched

and yet,
pieces of dreams
broom and a dustpan
because the carpet's overflowing
singing drums and fire
nicely tucked-away

"rule number three thousand and seventy six:
never tell tales which have no words
rule number seven hundred fifty two
never dance to the beat of your own soul
rule number eighty five
never set yourself free

these things must remain
these things must be "

I have heard your words and tell you
my blood is pure and wild
blood which flows so savage
untamed
untouched

I have felt your words upon me, and yet,
My Blood is Fierce and True
