Fire,
Burn my soul down
So that I rest
Upon the ground.

Wind,
Blow my ashes away
To a place where I
Might be okay.

Alchemist,
Make me pure as gold
A beautiful image
Dry and cold.

Atheists,
Tear me, tear me down
Cast me in chains
Forever bound.

Yahweh,
Cleanse me, pure as snow
The world might see,
The world might know.

Oh thank you!! This was sort of inspiration from a song, and I have no idea who the artist is, but the song is called, "You put the light in me." I think. Anyway, that's where it came from, and I think it's one of the weirdest things I've written... (:
