A heart so cold, it turns to stone

Pitch black like the burnt ashes of fire

But what it fears is fiery heat

To burn beyond cold charcoal stone

Fire flickers like lightning bugs and nightingales 

Escaping from a nest

But nightingales bring different visions

Of happiness and lullabies

For fire may burn and ignite fear

The hatred and loathing of one's desire

And swallows all that stands its path

Igniting also insecurities of uncertainties

Overshadowing the vision of nightingales

Blinding one from peace and acceptance

For mistakes, every human makes

One may not be the best, but certainly is not worst

And time may only allow one to realise, 

the burning, the heat, not only burns desires, hatred and fear

But if dealt right, creates diamonds from black coal and stone

For beauty is happiness, beauty is in acceptance

Beauty is for letting the nightingales sing

when the fire has burnt and worn out

The aftermath of forgiving the fire and moving to the stars.
