Flickering

The flickering

Low light of the wick

Pulls at my attention

As Smoke swirls it’s tendrils with my senses,

turning my head

Burning with intention

To remember this moment—

Here. now. I am.

The flickering

Dancing light of the firepit

Animates our dreams

As crackling embers lift our chins

& chests to night sky

Burning with passion

To connect in this moment—

Here. now. we are.

The flickering

Rising light of the sun

Yearns with ALL hopes

As warm glazes sweep landscape

covering my skin and everything

Burning with love

To celebrate this moment—

Here. now. ALL will be

The flickering of fire

Attending to the fleeting

of this moment

As if Awakening to technicolor dream

in livestream—

The life force flame

in me, in you, in all-that-is

Flickering in & out of existence

ReEmerging with the eternal fire

That will never, ever go out

Even when our own candle flickers out

May the flickering of fire

Guide us with loving presence

into the infinite now—

The wild glow of divine aliveness

May we dance with

The appearance & disappearance

of each moment,

as precious as each lifetime

May we in our flickering dance

help each other

to be the Light in the world
