fueling the fire

throwing in healthy, full logs
walking by the twigs
that only cackle in the flame
i want heat
throughout the whole, starry night

the healthy logs
connecting essence to essence
truth shared with another
shining glimpsed in a child's eyes
laughter at the bathing duck diving underwater
relax into infinite creativity

fueling the flame
so that the sparks
may flicker out
out to feed the life
a life of vision
a life to guide the dream
a lightness in the air
that feeds the flame

it began at home
yet poured out
because the logs
that fueled the flame
that soothed the soul
were found
