The five fires

for its heavenward ascent 
each God-spark seeks love’s consent 
first employing mind’s thought crutch
until it can learn by touch

spirit, a fire, grazes air
with all elements does pair
love the unifying force
shaping each earth bound soul’s course

when polarities unite
life in a womb does alight
a new born soul thus takes birth
to live life and prove its worth

without sense of ownership
the child is raised in worship
breath by breath embraced-released 
that God in heaven is pleased
