life for the Kingdom
raising up a new temple;
joy in another place
from the embers still glowing
the embers, the ashes,
living flames within them;
the fire of the Spirit
yet kindled within
from the remains of other fires
all gathered in, collected;
these sources, from ripples, seeds,
new flames to begin, ignited
