This Fire We Must Walk Through

 

This Fire We Must Walk Through

 

Tested is the sword after fire stoked for hardening

The clanging of the blacksmiths hammer in rhythm

A soul’s temperament feels the fire through its lives

Notes of a song on a scale a song marked in time

Through a trial of wills in his hand his sword

 

Tested is the mind in and elevated flame

Searching for meaning tempered by doubt

Where mind is on fire the soul is adrift

On a sea of testimony shrouded in a mist

He writes letter to no one in his hand his pen

 

Life is a journey with joys and perils on the path

God’s destines; dilemmas through love and wrath

Walking through fire requires mettle of soul’s

Acquaintance with a balanced heart and mind

Warming by the flame of a fire; a body retires
