Toxic coals

Walking on coals,
Inhaling toxic fumes,
I become ash,
Take me to the river now,
For there I may find peace,
In the all engulfing waters,
That will protect my core,
Keeping it alive and free,
Letting me float to the edge,
Into the waterfall,
That winds its way to the ocean,
Endless droplets of dreams, Emotions, evaporating to the skies,
Which when come back to gravity,
Give life, quench thirst.
