Question:Insendia

Her eyes burn
Haven and earth flee before her
She gives
And dies
Her gift,
escape
She is the death
before new birth
Man will never know her full
wonder
Purging Whispers
She steps
Black marks left behind
Cradle of the Sun
Sun on Earth
Respect is her price
Sacrifice, her creed
Insendia burns
The world

Ooooh, chill bumps. Not sure about this spelling, might be intentional, but the actual word is "incendia." But I love "she is the death/before the new birth." To be slightly ridiculous, it reminds me of what I learned about redwood trees. The seeds will only open if the cones are burnt. Life can only come if other life is destroyed. Sad, but true. And the last two lines...epic.

I have never seen this side of fire through your pen! I like it and applaud! Will you pray that this does not reach my life... it is already up in flames!

Burn with the light of passion
I have seen you creed lay bare
in this
the truth of life and love
is shown by the one
who knows them in himself

This is passionate and a bit frightening, like Fire itself. The lines "She is the death before new birth" have so much impact and make me think of the phoenix being consumed by fire and then rising reborn out of the ashes. I also just love the line "Cradle of the Sun". You have written a completely wonderful poem. Thank you.
