Hot Lava
White candle
Sitting next
To the fire
Wick alit
Slowly running
Pushing tenderly
Over the rim
Pouring down
Onto the
Stained wood table
Building a
Luxurious reservoir
Lava running wild
Out of the mountain top
Pushing onward
Slowly oozing
Towards the sea
Blindly consuming
Everything in the path
Unaware and focusing
On the present movement
Hitting the wave
Of water
With exploding force
Causing a low hiss
And an awe
Deep from within
Forming new earth
New memories
Building upon
A new future
