Written: August 27, 2023 ______________________________________________________________ Let a divine fire smolder in my soul. Ignite the depths; lead me to feel whole. A touchstone to strike, to set ablaze Burning away the dross in a fiery craze. My being, once poor and dark, Now burns as an incandescent spark. Surrounded by the holiest of haloes, A flame that only devotion shows Oh, let my soul be iridescent. In a rippling flow of melody, ever-present. Soaring to the dark sky—I ascend, A countless crowd of stars—my quest wend Even after my glimmers die out, My light will linger, without a doubt. The veil of darkness lifts from my eyes. Revealing the blessed light will not disguise With your blessings, my searing pangs, Transform into a pious light that hangs, Upward, toward the heavens above, A testament to your boundless love. Allow angels' fire to burn up my soul and clutch A flame that burns with a sacred touch. Igniting the core, purging all that's impure, Leaving behind a spirit that's mature Let this fire be a sparkle of hope. My guide through life's turns and slopes As I navigate the shadows and the strife, Let this fire be the guiding light in my life. Let this fire be a source of inspiration. A catalyst for transformation. Let it ignite a fire within my heart. To create, to love, and to play my carte. Let this fire be a force that sets my spirit free. To explore, to grow, and to be all that I can be. Let it burn brightly; let it blaze. As I embrace the challenges life lays.
