Flames of brilliant white-blue fire Flash through the dark of night Giving my thoughts a place to graze Like cattle on the land, in the hay Feeding off the nutrients of grass Clumps of precious sustenance Nourishing my ideas and dreams With inspiration, insight and belief That lives within the hopes that live Within me – in my heart and soul Where I go when I long for something To breath, like beauty and intimacy Feelings that penetrate my spirit With sensitivity, sensations of intimacy The fires raise goosebumps on my naked Skin where truth comes to enlighten me With soft caresses that fill me with desire Passion resting around my creativity and Dream of happiness, joy that lives within me Filling me up with a tenderness that whispers Through my soul, enlightening and delighting Comparing my thoughts to those that fill up Books with poetic ideas, breaths of light Covering spirits with warm sighs and visions Releasing pieces of hunger through my heart Reaching into me with purpose that colors Me in hues of crimson hope and violet dreams Mysterious breathes of kindness murmuring Like a brook across smooth, wet stones Blazing beauty, fire from the rhythmic beat Of a heart that lives to pour out more oil On the hearth of my ideas and visions, my Feelings of hope and faith and love that prays For more smoke to enchant and hypnotize Create a sense of peace uttering contentment Through my bones and into veins flowing With imagination, inspiration and insight Ideas for music that wakens the heart to Hear heaven’s harps playing through eternity Praising, glorifying and worshipping the One Who sparks the fires inside me with a light That lives to purify and penetrate the darkness Leaving only hues of healing, hope and happiness To laugh through the heart who knows Him The One who makes a way through the storm Guiding cold hearts to the flame that licks Love Through the walls built by loss, grief and fear Love that lives – is eternally alive – thrilling Sending fires to fulfill and enlighten through it all Flames that light up the heart and soul with Joy that knows hope and faith – amazing Love Love that conquers all – Love from the Spirit of God
