Fire Within

August 22, 2008

Fire pops and cracks within its heart’s home;
warming the cooled hearts of some
and a navigation smoke for those who roam.

Lest all the doors are left open wide!
As the cold smothers and fires die,
vagabond hearts are left awry.

Protect your fire, heart within me.
Close the door and open the chimney;
providing warmth for hearts and smoke to see.

Obsessed with words, my heart grows cold;
my fire within goes untold
and subsidingly bold.
Neighbors are left without warmth
     without hope
          without wisdom which to hold.
