Blazing Heart

you can sit in the darkness

don’t stew

heart frozen in glumness

deep blue

if the flames warm the edges

I’m consumed

blazing fire or numbness

it’s one or it’s two

both are so painful

but at least a heart on fire

is a heart that keeps beating

full of life’s desires

so pull me into the flames

my feelings burn through the pages

knowing my heart does its best work

when all fired up and courageous
