FIRE
In the beginning, the solar furnace
birthing the planetary core,
dragon gold from fire,
elixir of gods, purest of substances
the ultimate holy grail
with its own biophotonic substance
it’s incomparable worth;
Under our feet it simmers and seethes
- sometimes, to cataclysmicly erupt
building new mountains, islands, atolls,
or falling from the skies in stormy strikes,
ravaging forests and savannas
by chance, season - or human folly.
A burning heart for the living Earth
from which geo-thermal heat
all creatures derive
their own temperature, pulse
and passion;
warming the rocks above galactic permafrost
for things to grow in the temperate soil
enabling life-forms to evolve
within that climatic window.
The parent star dancing on its track
radiates living light upon its family in tow
while in the ethers,
fey spirits embody that element
for fireside and story-time;
and mayhap, those other, rarer realms
hypothetical - or not!
And then!
serving and stoking the beating heart
with the flames of longing and love;
the rapturous powers of spirit
- adoration, devotion, courage
and compassion.
The source for all that touches the soul
melts the mechanical mind
propelling and motivating inspired action
and manifesting goals or dreams.
