Follow the Fire

Follow the fire inside your soul,
and let that fire consume you whole.

Don’t let it sputter and die out.
To what you long for - be devout.

Let your fire’s flames grow higher
with your heart's every great desire.

Take action. Feed it! See it grow
until it gives its brightest glow.

Your fire inside you must not quell.
Keep it burning; follow it well.
