String, Donuts, Bubbles and Me

    Flame of the Spirit

    2000

    Seminal spark
    In the vast void of nothingness
    Mighty devourer of darkness
    Great warrior against eternal cold

    Flickering flame
    In the delusional shadow of a soulless universe
    Luminous beacon of our higher purpose
    Gentle reminder of the divine in all life

    Blazing fire
    In the barren landscape of yesterday’s thinking
    Passionate destroyer of perceived limitations
    Courageous torch of creative imagination

    Smouldering ashes
    In the healing breeze of tomorrow’s dawn
    Unifying essence of the ancient wisdom
    Leaven nest of the Phoenix rising

    Flame of the Spirit
    In the tropical forest of life’s diversity
    Forever alight with faith, hope and love
    Burn brightly within us, now and forever.
