Purification

Burning secrets in the dark
The scalding flames flicker and fade
Dancing in their feeding frenzy of paper fuel
As every wrong thought I have voiced
Blackens, becoming smoldering, weightless ash
Floating troublesome embers away into oblivion
As smoke's aromas fill my very sense of being
Burdens are freed from these heaving shoulders
No longer dark secrets since inked to life;
No longer a sin since flames kissed them away.
