Replenish

Replenish* my heart 
with unquenchable coals.
Make it burn so hot
So I'm unable to control
The fire burning from deep in my soul.

When it seems to die
I ask You to try
And replenish* my heart
With unquenchable coals.

Note*: the word replenish has a double meaning. "To fill" and to "refill."

Hi Neil Kruger. My name is Jillian. I chose your poem for my paper. So do you think you could email me at [email protected] so you can personally tell me what the poem means. If not just reply on here. I have an idea but if you can exactly tell me that would be awesome. Your poem was great. Have a good day.
