Fire Dance

Bring me the fire
stir the elixir of dreams
dance to the drums
and conjure my injury
into the sky with magic
and the healing smoke
of sage
cleanse me
shaman, doctor, medicine man
priest, witch doctor, curandero
burn me cut me pierce me
chant the mantra
call the spirits
sing the ancient verses
remove my heart and
make it whole
or send my spirit to
the valley of peace
save me
from these demon coils
that bind me
or cast my ashes to the
winds of the desert

I enjoyed hearing you speak on the bloggers webcast about suicide. Thanks for sharing your story. You have no idea how your writing has helped me through my own stuggle to accept my son's suicide. God bless you!
