Savor the Shudder

Bring me to the fire

Bring me to the fire and make me kneel

Bring me to the fire and summon the fervent worship of the dervish

Summon me into the depths I can’t even percieve

Leave me no more hidden corners

Carve the sound of your devotion into my belly so that it may whisper as I breathe

Bring me to the fire…

For eons I have searched for you to seize my heart

So none could find refuge in it no more

Bring my heart on a platter to the fire

And make me watch it burn as offering

I will do so with my soul keening in abandon

Bring me to the fire

For I want nothing more than to be in union with you

I yearn to be walking alongside you through time eternal

Find me

And bring me to the fire.
