Fire of Light

Not everything need be materialized or actualized right away.

Some things are better left contained to cook . . .

To smolder and simmer . . .

Accruing for later shimmer . . .

Have you ever felt

Liquid fire melt

And lava pour

Up your core

To fill your heart?

Take that energy and work your chores with love!

Even if the tender pain of it all

Forces bittersweet tears to fall.
