Follow the Fire
Betwixt fires of birth and death I burn,
Within embers of aches, meekness I learn;
In flame and heat, I bathe and purify,
Make me fit for my abode in the sky...!
My fire is my rapture in Godhead,
Within whom each of my vices I shred;
Like Moses, the mystical bush I face,
I get roasted in Yahweh's endless grace...!
Like a bonfire and inferno, I blaze,
Charring and scorching find life's newer phase;
I wish this fire be never put out,
In rain or storm or flood or drought of doubt...!
May this give me the will to will and fill,
Till thrills till my quill and fulfill God's will;
Toward dousing-it may my mind not bend,
In love-fire may my existence end...!
