Senryu Series: Warm

cold bones, skin yearning
follow distant stars, weary
burn slowly, rest now

worship at my fire
fear not the blistering heat's
gentle, warm release

immolated, calm
destroyed and renewed
violently reborn

mirage, oasis
the pool of blue I dreamed
rises beneath me

then we are bathed
in a cool, melting kindness
protected elements

earth swallowing
every precious gem
compressed, honed

distant silhouettes
wandering dark horizons
searching that treasure
