burn away the frail paper armour
of my ego
the fear, the pride,
the clinging resentments
and cloying guilt
let it sear, shrink, crumple,
and flake away to ash,
to nothingness
refiner’s fire, reveal
the shy, hidden child,
tottering towards the light of day
daring to be
the jewel of your treasure,
the one you see
as beautiful
