<pre class="verse">There is too much fire in me
|
||
|
|
  to be described by the soldering iron's tip.</pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> I must not fear.
|

<pre class="verse">Were I to draw it across my skin,
|
||
|
|
  it would all spill out at once.</pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> Fear is the mind-killer.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre class="verse">I'd melt, eaten whole by flames,
|
||
|
|
  and flow into a pool of molten glass.</pre>
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
> Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

<pre class="verse">Sublimation would claim me,
|

|

  atoms would scatter, diffuse.</pre>

> I will face my fear.
|
||
|
|
|

<pre class="verse">I would be borne up through the clouds,
|

|
|
  and grow lighter by the second.</pre>
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
> I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
|
||
|
|
|

|
|
<pre class="verse">All that energy poured to the air around me,
|
||
|
|
  an imperceptible increase in temperature.</pre>
|

|
|
|

|
|
> And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
|
||
|
|
|

|
|
<pre class="verse">Particle would excite particle
|
||
|
|
  until I'm felt only as warmth on your face.</pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
|
||
|
|
|

|
|
<pre class="verse">But even that would not be enough.</pre>
|
||
|
|
|

|
|
> Only I will remain.
