FIRE SPIRIT

I am grateful for Fire Spirit.

He is alive in

Candle fire,

Camp fire,

And fire in the fireplace.

Fire Spirit is powerful

And gentle.

He is the driving energy

Of life.

Fire cooks our food,

And Keeps us warm

On cold winter nights.

Fire Spirit can rage,

Destroying whole cities.

But, when fire lights a candle,

The wax and wick

Allow Fire Spirit

To warm our soul

Gently and sweetly.

When Fire Spirit sways

And dances

In a campfire,

In a fireplace,

Or above a candle,

He is inviting us

To watch,

To be calm,

To just be.

To be in the moment,

The present moment

Calming the fire

That sometimes

Rages within us.
