Blue Fire

colourbox.com

when things fall apart,

when the center cannot hold,

when the roof caves in

when the beloved is gone

that is when your soul becomes

blue fire,

when your eyes seek the heavens

because there are more answers there

when you walk hot coals

when your heart digs deep

when you feel you're being honed

from sorrow, flesh and bone

that's when you remember

that once there was a Camelot,

when all was shiny-beautiful,

and young and never-ending
all was grace

everything was shining golden

like the sun

and life and happiness had just begun.

Then, comes the work,

as we begin again.

though we start with empty hands,
our hearts are full,
grateful for everything
that brought us here

and we search our souls

and gather up our strength

until our courage and our vision clears

Felled by fatigue again, kids.........resting and trying to keep up, but far from inspired.
