Passion burns – fire resides
Deep, deep inside,
This is what I need
My heart concedes.
Dreams ridiculed and scorned,
Before they’re fully formed.
Keep the smile on my lips –
Words they say from stolen scripts.
The truth, the crux of the matter –
My desires you cannot shatter.
I’ll keep my dreams close to my heart,
And believe in the value of my art.
Even if I’m the only one in this town,
You will not ever bring me down.

Beautiful poem, as one who works with the spirit/energy of fire and passion it is illuminating and food for thought and magic. Thank you for a burning fire, or is it passion, that illuminates, renders clarity with beauty and wisdom together~a Renaissance goal.
