Burning

Light

There is a light here

Something

Brighter

Than the sun

A burst

I can finally quench

My thirst

My pain

My sweat

It was worth

The hike

The night

I can finally feel

The air

It is clear

I am near

I can breathe again

The summit

Is not the end

But my beginning

I can become

Elevated

I suffocated

But now

The smoke has cleared

And all I see

Is the fire

It is brighter than the sun

It is now burning in me.
