Steps

I dance through the fire

(Because)

It does not consume me

Though I feel pain

They are not flames that I lit

And I am not defeated

I’m still alive

And in joy

I breathe

Although I may feel some burns

And the smoke stings

It’s not what I cannot bear

Because I have been

Where the beating of my heart

Was all I heard

And yet I could not feel it

Because I felt torn apart

By shame, hurt, numb

I dance because now I move

Unvacant and free

I am not, will not

Be crushed

The fire has no hold

Its power is nothing

No match for the Flame

The Spirit within

Always

Healing

Filling

Producing wholeness

That will not be taken away

Ever
