I will stand for these relationships
I will fight to make them whole

I will fly into the heart
of the fire
to touch the golden ember
of sacred connection

Follow the longing to belong
into the white hot center where
all stories are stripped away
released to flying ember
fall to powdered ash

Open I stand
burned raw to the core

Sounding empowers me
tones the connection
weaves the net
Tells me I am home
