Hello There Poet Free verse

Flammable Soul

Raging fires roared, yet nothing could hold her back;
she was born in flames...

Sadly, that which helps forge vitality, indubitably, burns.

Embers soon seek refuge in blanketed debris,
praying to fade as apathy attempts to nurture injury.

Mercy, I beg, draw near and peel back ashen veil;
enable compassion, tenderness, and understanding to elicit
tears of gratitude, for they are certain to ignite abandoned flames!

Let passion's fire forever radiate deeply within this and every soul.
May all come to know her warmth, be guided by her light,
feel her rapture in righteous endeavors, and
nevermore become singed nor devoured
by her eternal blaze.



PEACE, LOVE & JOY TO ALL
2020

Chris Green January 8, 2020 at 6:57 AM And a beautifully written poetic prayer it is. Love your dedication but this could speak to many who feel that the flames of life may be getting a little close and are in need of some healing. Your poem is wonderful, I like how you expressed your thoughts in this. Hello There January 8, 2020 at 12:07 PM Yes, I do believe! Chris Green January 8, 2020 at 11:53 AM I was extremely concerned and it left me wondering do three footnotes equal a yardnote? Hello There January 8, 2020 at 11:10 AM As a footnote to my previous note regarding changes to the original footnote, I would like to note that the footnote was not needed so I edited it out. In case you were wondering ;) Hello There January 8, 2020 at 10:53 AM Thank you so much, Chris ~ The prayer is for all, and though the rest is personal, I feel better knowing others may relate. I changed some of the wording in the footnote for this was not meant to be a dedication. I really appreciate you and your feedback always <3
