As believing Christians doubt
errantly forgetting God,
He intercedes judiciously,
kindling love mid narcissism.
Our Paraclete,
quenchable, resident Spirit,
teaches us vital wisdom
xenolith, yokefellow, zealot.

Gaze upon the bonfire to see within
Chaos sculpted in natural beauty
Reliable Stability - Earth
Awakened Passion - Fire
Stimulating Inspiration - Air
Quenchable Senses - Water
Integrated Essence - Soul
Serpentine twists of color symbolize the orbits
Basic instincts outline the root in red
Sacral Venus adds the creative pursuit of orange
A ferocious Sun glimmers golden
The heart of the moon flickers in green
Mercury & Saturn flash in bursts of Blue & Indigo
Jupiter dances with a divine crown of silvery white
In unison, the fire burns on a glowing bed of transformation

With your grace, Father, daily I sustain
to keep my mind from failing in the midst
of all the rapture felt within the pain
haunting morning passions that exist.
No man can love me greater than you do
or fill my heart with quenchable desire
and seeing me the darkest moments through
ensures my own life I don’t deem expire.
The enemies that curse me, take away
helping them to know they can’t suppress.
Kind mercies you endow from day to day
is privacy I to them need not confess.
Father, an ever-present care is thee!
I rejoice in feeling your love for me.

Shall I be the one for you
Shall I be forever true
Shall I say to you
I love, I love you
Shall I be the one desire
Shall I be a quenchable fire
What shall I do to fair
One of your beauty
One of your care
Shall I be of your grace
Shall I see you smiling face
As I insist
I can't resist
Shall I be the one for you
Shall I be forever true
Shall I say to you
I love, I love you, so
Oh
beauty to love you more
Shall I
