The Fire Within Me

The Fire Within Me

 

A splash here, a splash there,

A tiny flicker nourished with abandoned care.

Raging on the inside,

Refusing to hide.

 

A roaring fire

Never ceasing to tire,

It seeks to rise

To reach greater heights.

 

On the ground it spreads,

As slowly it’s fed.

Climbing the walls

Until it consumes all.

 

A safety in its grace

In whatever I face,

It keeps me real,

So my hope, none can steal.

 

Longing to be quenched,

Yet, not altogether relinquish,

It awaits to break forth,

Seeking its true north.

 

A splash here, a splash there,

A fiery faith, I choose to dare.

For when I’m who I’m supposed to be,

Ignited is the fire within me.

Honest, strong and wise words shared dear Melinda.
