Tears in Fire

Oh my Lord!

My one Desire!

The Lord above all that is

and all that shall ever be!

how I beg of thee

from Thy percy

to lend me the strength

to keep my flame ablaze

and protected

in a world that rains

each and every day

and set ablaze the cold

all around me:

to turn cold drops

into hot steam

and allow it to diffuse

to warm the hearts

of all those I am blessed

to cross paths with 

Oh, Merciful One!

let not my flame

not snuffed

by the sweat

of my exhaustion

as I huddle over it

Oh, Merciful One!

let not my flame

not be extinsued

by my tears

Iispired by the sadness

that this world harber

for in all its beauty

it harbors pain

of the greatest order
