a hive buzzing – v2

A hive buzzing,

conflict, dissension,

grievances aired out loud

speaking emotion

A hope under blankets

clouds of indifference

a cauldron boiling

out of control

Bottled up, under pressure,

not confronted directly

ready to explode

in judgment, in retribution

==========

formed within the stone – v9

Within their flesh, their bodies

their true self within them,

Formed within the stone

before their beginning

Who they will become

the truth of their being,

Formed within the stone

before their beginning

Their light, their spirit,

held by their bodies,

Formed within the stone

before their beginning

Their wings unfurling

bursting in fullness,

Released from the stone

revealing their beauty

their true self within them;

formed within their stone

who they will become

formed within their stone

already finished, completed,

the temple, the sculpture;

formed within their stone

coaxed from the stone

what is already existing;

the sculpture of their spirit

alive before their beginning

formed within their stone – v13

hidden in plain sight

within their flesh, their bodies

their true self within them

waiting for discovery, awakening,

formed within their stone

before their beginning

who they will be

the truth of their being

their gifts, their talents,

their purpose in this life,

formed within their stone

before their beginning

already finished, completed,

the temple, the sculpture

their perfect self hidden

in plain sight, to be revealed,

formed within their stone

before their beginning

formed within the stone – v9

who they are, truly,

who they will become

hidden in plain sight

deep within the stone

within their flesh, their bodies

their true self within them

formed within the stone

before their beginning

who they will be

the truth of their being

formed within the stone

before their beginning

encased in the stone

the flesh of their bodies

formed within the stone

before their beginning

waiting for their season

to be revealed, fully,

from deep within the stone

their future life within

their true self already within them

formed within their stone

who they will become

the truth of their being

formed within their stone

already finished, ready,

the temple, the sculpture

formed within their stone

before their beginning

coaxed from the stone

already existing, present,

the sculpture of their spirit

formed within their stone

fueled from within – v3

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, prepared,

to be ignited, set ablaze

fueled from within

fed by Your Spirit

energy to drive us

out into the world

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
