There Is a Brilliant Fire
Lynda Allen
There is a brilliant fire,
One that will not burn the flesh.
Sitting beside it I feel its warmth
And am renewed.
The flame leaps
And I draw nearer.
Looking into the heart of fire
I know it is not for me alone.
My hand moves unafraid
Into the core.
The heat caresses my skin
And does no harm.
There is a gentle flutter in my palm
As I pull it from the fire.
A tiny spark flickers
And grows
As I smile upon it.
I know it is not for me alone.
Lit by the light of the fire
I turn
Hand outstretched
To you.
The gentle breath of love
Fans the flame,
A tiny spark leaps
From me to you.
We know it is not for you alone.
Lit by the light of the fire
You turn
Hand outstretched
To another.
One by one
The flame is passed
Love its fuel
The world is lit.These are the candles I lit during meditation.

How interesting. In meditation at Zen Farm, we focused on the violet flame, a flame that is not hot. And I too was trying to focus on the people of Oklahoma. Thanks for sharing this, Lynda.

Thanks for the link Lori!
I thought I had my settings set up to send me an email whenever there were comments but it had my old email address! So I'm catching up on comments...
