through the woods

I am a fiery orange orb

centered and contrasted amoungst

various shades of deep green ferns.

Facing forward

I channel my energy

to ignite the path

through the crowded pines.

The rays of Sun

shy behind the misted dusk skies.

I hover my way

into your cracked palms

to replenish

the dried up blood

that spilled out

while searching for me

through the woods.
