A flame burns deep within my heart,
quiet, subtle
twinkling as gentle candlelight, yet
It Illuminates.
Moving closer, its warmth bathes my fingers
its light flickers over my face
my eyes focus upon its centre
It envelopes me.
Taking me in, mesmerized
As I stare intently, the flame seems to grow
building, until
I am the fire.
I feel its warmth, its strength,
its passion.
for they are mine.
