Staring Through Fire

Seated beneath the tree of life Vertical and in a trance Spine is in alignment And my eyes are closed Focusing on my breathing Imagining my pain as a torch Under my breath i can see it flickering Creating an intricate dance Staring through fire I begin to see the doorway open Staring through the fire I can see the doorway opening in my mind The orange light dances Creating intricate design Staring through fire I begin to see the doorway open Staring through the fire I can see the doorway opening in my mind (Solo: Joel Guernsey) I can see the waves crashing on the shore I am as high as a cloud I've risen high above The wind's gust softly keeps me on track I can hear a voice calling me back I can feel her reach for me Unable to break my petrified stance All organic tissue has been replaced by minerals Frozen in time She weeps at the sight of what i've become No more shall i exist in agony Never again to return My reality is gone Transcending the earth My soul now exists Only within space I am lost and there is no returning me I'm a conscious being Who is perfectly neutral in every way Existed in two parts A body and a mind Now i am one Staring (Solo: Joel Guernsey) Staring through fire The unending flickering dances with my soul Staring through fire I let the light and warmth envelope me Staring through Through flame This is what i was always meant to be
