I will not be snuffed
I cannot be tamed
I am your abyssal waters
And I, your igniting flame
I am the fire that rages and flickers
I am a great lake overflowing
Into rivers, into streams
Colliding into heat, into ether, into steam..
You are engulfing, incinerating
And that sure, steady glow
You are the faith in my step
My abandon into chaos, into progress, into hope
I am your safest place
The courage beating in your chest
I am your weeping eyes
Your greatest trial, your truest test
I am the hand that rescues
And I, the strength that stands
The anchor to your ship
Sailing off to foreign lands
I am the wound that never healed
The thorn to your rose
I am the reason
For that final path you chose
