The Fire of Life

Indescribable

That is the word

That is the word I was looking for


Just undescribable until you’ve seen it

Just undescribable until you’ve experienced it

Just undescribable until you’ve felt it

So let me take your hand

Take you on a journey

To show you the indescribable

Always show – never tell

That is the task of the poet, the artist

Magic exists

In our hearts

Wonder exists

So long as we don’t block it out

Hope exists

It all exists!

It is only our task to accept it

As long as your mind stays open

It’s like lighting a fire

Perhaps, at the start, it is a guided action

But whoosh once it starts – it burns, it gains a life of its own!

The fire doesn’t have to think about what it’s doing;

Rather, it dances with the whim of its own

It lets free, it lets go

And so is life

Start the fire

And let the fire burn

Let it take on a life of its own

Don’t try to control it too hard

It is beautiful

It is the spark of life

Vivace
