Obsidian Hearts
Obsidian hearts
Born of rock and fire
What tracks do you leave?
By following your desires?

Flames fanned from ages unknown
Forged in the passion
Gaia tends the flames
Speaking to her children
By words like smoky whispers
If you listen she may call your name

Smoldering signals unseen or plainly viewed
Embers blown by the winds
Some burn away; others still float lost
Those that travel true find new fuel
And the fires light anew

Let the smoke rise to the spirits
Obsidian hearts are burning
Dark in appearance and cold to the mundane
But holding reactions barely contained
Explosive souls only stable together
Connections deeper than forever

The heat melts the world around
Obsidian hearts erupting
Gaia’s sacred glow grows, enveloping all
Laying waste to reason
And yet lighting the way
To destinies unachieved
And dreams never before believed

To bring fire to the frozen
To find the fuel for the flame
Prometheus had one
Obsidian hearts
Not often wanted by the owners
But it’s often by fate they are chosen
-S

2. I'd like a review of this lock and move. My poetry has always been allowed in GD.
I have a journal full of evidence if the mod in question would like to check.
