Out of The Ashes

Watch this life's destruction burn away in the hot embers of the bonfire of humanity. I pour gasoline into the fire feel the rage heat hotter and hotter...as i throw another lifes past log into it watch the flames lick the bark, singe it, causeing it to crackle and pop off like a past affliction. While i cast each and individual log of my past life into the flames i feel the memory getting wiped away. Move over i hear ring out in my thoughts, i ponder where this is comming from... aha it is my childhood memories in which demands to look through the pile of logs. I invision a 10 year old little boy digging through the cracks and crags of this pile speaking, "no not this one it is when grandpa came here..... no not that one either" speaking with a whistle , knowing the whistle is from not haveing his 2 front teeth. He pulls each and every individual log of happiness out looking up into my eyes and says, "you see all these... they are memories that are good why get rid of them when they are your happy memories ?" I look into this spiritual disembodied child i couldn't help but break into tears . Knowing what this child was saying and yet i am to afraid to keep the memories. I sit down and this little boy runs up and jumps into my lap and wraps his arms around me he whispers into my ear, "Brother i am you, your child hood past do you really want to destroy me was i that bad of a child ? " I look back into his baby blue eyes and start to cry saying son i am so sorry please forgive me for my soul has seen the pits of hell and i feel empty, he wraps his arms around and hugs deep saying to me, no brother i would never let you into the pits of hell for you see if i did then i would be no better than that in which tormented you". When he hands me the logs of past happiness i feel a sense of calm serenity wash over me , i watch this disembodied child levitate the rest of those logs that were there and placed them all into the fire, he runs back over to me places the logs of happiness onto the ground and climbs back into my lap saying,"there it is done no more pain, no more, suffering... allow that very individual you want in to open the door and enjoy the very peace and love in which i know you are.." We sit watching this fire rage i notice out of the ashes the pheonix arise carrieing off into the darkened evening sky all the pain, turmoil and torment in which was harbored with in my very soul, so its out of the ashes and into the night sky off into the evermore forgotten.
