Fire In the Heart

Lightening overhead and;

“Fire in the heart” he said.
“Stand clear” and in a flash, 
All the spirit there was dead!

Rain washes mud into the 
Empty sole and who knows
Eventually seeds of other
Things might grow?

Clearer sky’s instead.

Sometimes, David, death is just a transition from one thing to another. I hope there are indeed clearer skies in our future. Well done! Love, Carolyn
