Trial By Fire
Like shadows passing through a dream
Energy flowing in a steady stream
They are haunting every move I make
They are stealing every breath I take
Not wanting my lead to follow
Easier to hold your fears then swallow
You’ve become my judge and jury
Guilty by unfair comparisons surely
Gaining entrance to where I need to be
Is not an easy task for me
For you are the jailer and you hold the key
They are the shadows passing through my dream
Energy flowing in a steady stream
I see a heart placed on a pyre
Why make a heart suffer a trial by fire
Please use care (this is a sensitive subject for me, do not critique harshly)

Trial By Fire
hi poet!! i think your poem is beautiful…evocative and from the soul.
don’t you think it’s amazing how writing(and re-writing!) our feelings down can focus our thoughts and bring us a bit of clarity?!….maybe not immediately…but eventually!!
am looking forward to reading some more!

Suffering
Hi Chrys, liked the poem and its extended image and form. There are some would argue that passing the trial by fire makes the achievement of the object of your desires more sweet…although we would all love an easier passge at times. Keith
