a fire to kindle – v2

a fire to kindle – v2

a fire to kindle
our minds, our spirits
to be set ablaze
empowered, emboldened
all of our days

our minds yearning for
ideas, conversation
the fuel to be started
nurturing hearts
ready, open

our spirits to be fed,
to be kindled, ignited
to be set ablaze
empowered, emboldened,
all of our days
