Born in a Fire


There are desires that lay asleep inside of people.
But many people are afraid to see.
These longings of our hearts are often
numbed by endless consumerism, distractions, and excuses.
I might look like I struggle.
It might appear that I don’t know what I am doing.
But I know better.
I see all the world, so afraid to believe and to trust.
In many ways, that is me, too.
But I will not accept that as my fate.
I am giving birth to my dreams and visions.
They are born in a fire.
And the fire will refine them.
And one day they will live.
