Today's word is "igneous" ... IG-nee-uh s ... of, relating to, or characteristic of fire. produced under conditions involving intense heat. (Dictionary.com)
Spark
Waiting for the heat to begin,
To form me like an igneous rock ...
Out of incessant pressure and flame,
Into something strong and unyielding,
Unafraid and full of courage.
But this shrinking violet cringes,
Wondering at the cost
Of such a transformation.
What will be left in the end?
After that searing, sacred violence.
