Combustious Truth

Richard Louis Desormeaux Cox

Oh, to express the fire we face.
In consuming chaos, find grace.
Wonders alight yourself to me,
ablaze my mind so I may see.
Enlightenment burn loose my hand,
spread the torch throughout the land.
Save the soul, ignite thought,
heal the pain that fire has brought.
Bring those answers I have sought.
