THE FIRE WITHIN

Contemplate the hollow silhouettes
That house the empty likenesses
Look deeply to the souls
Does an ember yet smolder?
Bellow the spark and clear the smoke
See the brightness and the warmth
Nurture it; fuel it with kindness
Watch it grow to conflagration
Be consumed; feed it always
Keep it alive with adoration
Strengthen it with anticipation
See how the fire stays
When it is fanned in loving ways
