Edward Ibeh Poet Sapphic stanza

Notes About The Poem

Follow That Fire

propelled by an interior mechanism
you, because you dare dream leviathan dreams;
there's an enduring fire raging within you...

                                                just follow that fire!

pay no attention to doubting Thomases.
get out of your head; don't give in to self-doubt.
let nothing knock you off your trajectory...

                                                  just follow that fire!

within you, a fire of determination.
believe that every dream you dream is valid,
believe that you can accomplish all your goals...

                                                   just follow that fire!

FJ Thomas January 6, 2023 at 6:40 PM Not comparing myself to an apostle, but this Thomas has no doubt that this is fire. Lol excuse my old school verbage. I hope this placed Edward. Edward Ibeh January 6, 2023 at 8:19 PM It in fact placed, FJ, thanks for the visit, my friend.

Sam Kauffman December 19, 2022 at 11:09 AM This is very special Edward filled with creatively spoken poetic phrases that illustrate your poetic artistry - "pay no attention to doubting Thomases," "believe that every dream you dream is valid," "dream leviathan dreams." For me, this is God's call to all of us, to believe in our gifts and the power of the ministry we are called to by our God. Merry Christmas dear friend. Blessings of joy and peace for the New Year Edward Ibeh December 20, 2022 at 5:13 AM Thank you very much, Sam:-) It's always a pleasure to hear from you. Happy holidays to you and yours!
