Fire

So stand, you twelve this is your test. I implore you now to do your best. Shine, this is your finest hour, soon will I awake in flower. My sweet breath flowing forth in tune where you will join me all too soon and we are one in truth and light, with no war, no excuse to fight, just love and peace and harmony the things that be, we want to see. Now take this chance to raise me higher. Stand your ground, ready, aim, fire!

The Holy Spirit's Fire was a blessing for these 12 great men...What a splendid take on the contest, Charles. I was blessed to read this! His sweet breath flowing forth in tune is my fav line....and the painful truth of the things that BE, WE WANT TO SEE...So necessary but hard to bare. Enjoyed your winning write, Charles. God's best blessings for you! Gwendolen
