Fire within me
There is a fire that rages within me
Not so plain for all to see
It quietly consumes my thoughts
On my own mortality
Of dying and being set free
Of earthly limitations
That bounds me here, for an eternity
The flame, all orange with tinges of blue
A reflection of the feelings
Good and bad, all hidden from view
There is a fire that rages within me
From the moment I wake
To the end of day, when I sleep
It shepherd’s my emotions
Sometimes keeping them in check
Other times exploding effortlessly
Not the appropriate place to be
At least not intentionally
Eventually winding down gradually
Ready for another day gratefully
There is a fire that rages within me
My mind racing like a train
Wrecking havoc with the rest of my body
A vessel that needs to be treated sacredly
Because someday, to our Lord
We will need to render accountability
For this gift, God has given thee
Pray he shows mercy
For all transgressions
For all imperfections
That make me unworthy
