We are all alone in this world.
We make our choices
and live with them.
We may shrink from the flames of our decisions
and trials only dusting our feet on the ashes
of braver souls.
We may cower behind our excuses,
our ‘important’ marvelous stuff,
our busy, productive lives
simulating success.
We may justify our sins of Greed, Lying, Cheating,
Dishonor,
whatever our moments of weakness
have allowed us to commit.
We may justify this in our minds,
But ours alone.
Only our Earthly judges may be fooled.
Or:
We can strive to be honest, loving, and honorable.
We CAN face the fires
and walk alone
deliberately and consciously through the blazes,
melting golden gods,
singeing away imagined fears, false hopes,
mistakes made.
Then, we can ease our burns with the healing salve
found buried within our souls,
stored there by our loving Father,
emerging scarred,
but steeled
to face another flame.
