Analysis of White Fire
Earth's vast bed, filled with bones and sins,
Swollen memories forever fade.
Books holding valued citizens,
A predetermined hall of fame.
I saw a white fire blaze
Across the night sky,
One for the good side?
Are there devils in the stars,
Are the angels winning?
Who sits on Moon's Throne?
Father, I know you're in Heaven,
Perhaps it's your Spirit?
Suddenly, all is quiet under open space,
Swirling breath pushed in place.
Pressure released without a trace,
Renowned for glory, written on your face.

About this poem
When sleep can’t even evade the pain. Caught in a place between tragedy and grace.
