Fire


There is a fire in the sky
And I expected it not
The rain had been falling
dogs, cats and whatnot.

We drove ever slowly
not wanting to leave
The tears were still staining
my shirt and my sleeve.

I chose a route known
by only my heart
And ventured again
at will my will to jumpstart.

May they not be here
if only others would be
Gently my heart seeks
to seek only Thee.

But, You know me too well
this existence can be so sterile
Until before me You unfold
After rain
Your pure gold.

You speak to my heart.
