a fire to kindle – v3

a fire to kindle

our minds, our spirits

empowered, emboldened

to be set ablaze

all of our days

ideas, conversation

the fuel to be started

nurturing hearts

in our walk

all of our days

ready, open

to be fed, to be kindled,

empowered, emboldened,

to be set ablaze

all of our days

not a vessel to be filled – v2

not a vessel to be filled

but a fire to be kindled

the clay alone not enough

the metaphor too passive

inert, merely clay

a bowl, a pitcher

yes to be filled, to be poured

but more than this truly

not a vessel to be filled

as if a glass beaker only

inert, merely clay

lives to be enriched

a fire to be kindled

beauty set in motion

lives set afire;

a fire to be kindled

sent on its way

a blaze within

a fire already burning

inquisitiveness of man

a fire to kindle

our minds, our spirits

to be set ablaze

to be fed,

to be nurtured

all of our days

a blaze within

a fire burning

ready, open

more fuel for the fire

living flames

to be set ablaze

a fire to kindle

a fire to kindle

our minds, our spirits

to be set ablaze

empowered, emboldened

all of our days

ideas, conversation

the fuel to be started

nurturing hearts

ready, open

to be fed, to be kindled,

to be set ablaze

empowered, emboldened,

all of our days

a fire to be kindled

a flame to be nurtured

a dream to be guarded

a fire to be kindled

all of our lives

a fire to be kindled

our minds, our spirits

to be set ablaze

empowered, emboldened

fueled from within

fueled from within

the spark of imagination

curiosity, inquisitiveness

that which is within us

a fire kindled

a heart that is open

a mind ready

to be set ablaze

fueled from within

fed by our spirit

energy to drive us

out into the world
