A Temple of Blood and Bone

A Last Flame entry

My body is a temple, a temple of blood and bone

Lit by the flames of life and soul, forever intertwined

A temple just as holy, as any other that is known

The matter that makes the universe, in my body and mind

One day, those flames will flicker and fade

The temple walls crumble and foundations fall under earth

But for now, flame shines bright in the world that I made

And will until the day of my death and rebirth
