The Fire
I feel a calm about me where a fire was,
A flame I tried to tame but its blaze was to bright
The fire burned anyone who got too close
and engulfed my spirit.
My mind hidden within the flames
the smoke clouding my steps
I cried out for rain
relief from my embers
On my knees and seared
I felt the mist and began to cool.
God was with me there
as He was all along
He calmed the fire and freed my spirit
My mind has been found and I can breathe again.
