Healing

Black heat from the coals
Of a fire raging deep,
Deep within, gave me courage
To seek my self.
Black heat void of
All color.

Orange heat from the rage
Of an anxiety, only
Felt within, gave me courage
To seek my self.
Orange heat burns bright
With color.

Yellow heat from the despondency
Of a heavy heart, felt inside
And shown outside, gave me courage
To seek my self.
Yellow heat with the sun's
Vibrant color.

White heat from the day's air
Of a peace resting deep,
Deep within, gave me courage
To seek my self.
White heat aglow with my face's
Radiant color.

The stages of heat were inevitable.
Now I am my self.
