stirring the cinders
of a fire
that once burned
inside
and inspired
dreaming
planning
creating
flames that provided
confidence to be
desire to do
motivation to go
singing
writing
speaking
reading
leading
loving
praying
where did that fire go
maybe I’m just getting old

that raging fire in my soul
now warm cinders burning
stirred and kept alive
in hope of flames returning
