Notes About The Poem

Follow the Fire

Deep inside my soul Where only God can grow Seeds of passion and hope, Vigor, stamina – fervor… There grows a passion, a yearning Alive, vibrating and trembling… With a muse so wild and tempting It feels like the fire will consume me The blaze is vibrant and illuminates All of my dreams – my life, my belief The reasons I smile and laugh, Enthusiasm that excites so I feel… Energized, intensified, inspired As the fire blows out the doubts Fades away into the feelings, the thoughts Blazing away, like a grace falling down Reflecting all the promises in His word, Settling the need to feel seen and heard – I know what it means to understand… The spirit, the fire that consumes… Heals and relieves, comforts with a warmth Far stronger, far brighter, far wiser… Than any other fire – any feeling, any reality In this glow from the inferno of my soul There lives a hue of faith, a pure grace That brightens every doubt and releases The hurt from the past, erasing the pain Destroying the insanity with flames That abide in the truth, the knowing That His love is always flowing… Follow the fire with a heart who burns Eager for the moment when His light Will scorch away all the skepticism With flames of believing – understanding Erasing the darkness and shining hope Across the moments that remind us… His fire can truly blind us! Remembering Paul... Acts 9:3 (KJV) And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: Follow The Fire Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Mystic Rose Rose November 10. 2022
