the fire that spoke

March 31, 2026 · Temple

and yet cursed it was; when creation hearkens not! what say you? eh - a shrugging of the shoulders, don't mind me. till earthen clay became too hot to bear and all this while - the tides kept rushing in. flames that spoke speak to vessels not chained; behold the god of pleasure, money and security - earthen vessels went their ways each caught died out embers no longer part of a living fire. collected the aftermath - we're safe now, while it soon became clear. fires that be; aren't meaningful unless they burn. why speak evilly of hell? fires that burn; and the devil said: they're my children; when earthen vessels cherish cheap grace, cheap fire, cheap bargains while collecting the devil's debt.
