.

Incandescence: 

They say It's always the nice one's that get burned.

So burn.

.

It will hurt in every moment of every day.
Sometimes it will reduce to a smolder  and you will become
gently numb to the pain and 
life will be beautiful.

Sometimes it will swallow you up.
Sheets of flames and smoke and heat too thick to see through.
It will bring you to your knees and 
still life will be beautiful.

It will be beautiful
because you are giving the world 
and yourself
light.
