Insistant Fires

A collaboration with Dan Kearley
Thanks for writing with me! : )

Feelings that we sometimes feel, 
can be bound in ties that bind. 
Flaming heart felt insistent fires, 
kept hidden that no one else can find. 

As you look at yourself in the mirror, 
are you pleased with who it is you see? 
Is this the person you had set out to become, 
or a stranger who longs to be set free? 

To truly live is to never hold back, 
let your passion be a guide to your way. 
Find that spark that let's you live, 
by taking action into the light of a new day. 

You will find your true purpose and the meaning of life, 
if you trust the inner voice, you have hidden inside. 
Never give up, laugh, and learn to forgive, 
then you will realize, it's a gift to just live.

The gift is in loving awareness, the grace is in forgiveness of ignorance...this poem is a great lesson of heart purpose..."Flaming heart that felt insistent fires..." to be a stranger to oneself, something that can recurr in a lifetime, and I'm glad you teach this herein Dan and Laura...J.A.B.
