underneath it all

strip away the physical of place,

the where-a bouts of purpose

a naked soul peers into a mirror

reflecting self

within the heart is found a contained fire

the flames roll with sturdy desire

spit, scream,

lies muffle the scene

quick step to serenity

eyelids opened to a worlds window

stark chills lift goose bumps

time is fleeting by while the skin merely heats

the radiance is ignored

inside self's cage it has nowhere to go
