what can withstand
the hottest fire
steel is melted
into swords
love and passion
melt into nothing
from the heat
of the forge
burning inside
tears fall
into a pool
of despair
on your knees
an anguished soul
water drenches
flames to embers
the fury of hate
of lust, of anger
holds no sway
on the penitent
look to the cross
sacrifice of one
for many
rejoice always
the hottest fire
