It begins with a trickle A small surge of light And enters the room at the edges Conversations falter As they place on the altar All of their flaws, their hurts, their pledges Hedging bets, with guilty frets, The Fire starts to stir To spark,      to grow,      to arc,           to blur With tightly closed eyes, Reaches up toward the skies, And down around the corner forming, Curving slightly, glowing, swarming, Burbling nightly, Flowing brightly, A river of fiery lights, Inverted, on the ceiling, The intercessors kneeling, O'er metaphorical fights... O collective vision With an unknown meaning As intuitive as fission For wizened guide with spiritual leaning

River Of Fire On the Ceiling
It begins with a trickle A small surge of light And enters the room at the edges Conversations falter As they place on the altar All of their flaws, their hurts, their pledges Hedging bets, with guilty frets, The Fire starts to stir To spark,      to grow,      to arc,           to blur With tightly closed eyes, Reaches up toward the skies, And down around the corner forming, Curving slightly, glowing, swarming, Burbling nightly, Flowing brightly, A river of fiery lights, Inverted, on the ceiling, The intercessors kneeling, O'er metaphorical fights... O collective vision With an unknown meaning As intuitive as fission For wizened guide with spiritual leaning
