Sparking the Flame

She had no spark within her heart No fire burned out of control No glow of which she could impart No flames of desire within her soul The muse within her did not ignite Her inspiration had taken flight Her words could not spark a blaze The muse within her did not ignite It seemed she was in a daze, She wanted words to light up her mind But her words could not spark a blaze Then a spark of desire she did find And words began to light up her mind Soon she felt an inspirational fire inside That illuminated her soul with a burning pride Her writing brought her great acclaim A spark had now become a flame - 11-12-17

I enjoyed the whole poem but I love the last line. Don't we all wish for the spark to become a flame. Congrats on your win, Joseph.
