An innocent inside an inferno

Sometimes it feels like the fire from the hell is ready to gobble me. Yet, something inside me cannot take that ghastly sight very seriously, you know. Isn’t it a beautiful sight to see the fire burning down what is old, what is dead, what has run its course and begging for a new form? I know the inferno may consume the “me” inside me soon. May be it will be much more painful than any pain I can imagine. But wouldn’t there be heat for the cold nights, for those who couldn’t afford a roof? May be the beauty, the simplicity, the innocence is the fire. May be my surrender to it will release what is old, what is dead inside that I harbour. Yes, it is gobsmacking. But may be that is just an illusion from a distance. For peeping inside the beastly existence that I am, I have seen just an innocent toddler riding a see-saw, giggling!
