Catharsis

MVJ Simon December 26, 2007

Tags: catharsis , faith

A walk through fire

Eyes shut tight

Stepping on red hot coal

Mind overcomes pain

Unflinching faith

Firm step after step

The glowing embers crushed

Rendered impotent black lumps

/> This walk is cathartic

Faith removes pain

And I emerge purged

Cleansed and pure

And the dying embers

They set my soul aflame
