The Sacred Flames of Life

 

The Sacred Flames of Life

(A lone voice whispers)

Truth, Compassion, and Kindness compel Light to illuminate the darkest of corners.

Of any known day or night.

Even now in these theatres of Social Media 

But still Truth will always flow like a torrent upon an eternal journey.

Kindness and Compassion closely following in its shallow wake.

The Sacred Flames of Life speak loudly of their presence.

In Truth, it may sometimes seem like a silent Fight.

In Kindness, you may have your doubters.

In Compassion, you may receive no sympathy.

But with a clarity and majesty, always be true to yourself.

For it’s a sacred truth and a blessing.

To sometimes separate oneself from the bustling crowd.

For those who blindly follow and wallow. 

Might never leave the circle.

Always moving, but willingly submerged beneath the surface.

Sunken in a crystalline silence, as their inner voice is forever searching for speech. 

But will lie in sad isolation.

Forever probing but never finding Freedom's Road. 

To truly speak.

But the magic for those like maybe you. 

Who are never traded, waylaid or willingly imprisoned.

Courageous souls who choose to be free and not weak.

Resourceful people in Life. 

Who always try to rise when seemingly beaten.

Those whose head refuses to accept confinement or defeat.

The World and all her wonders are theirs to be claimed. 

When found.

Never searching in silence, but with a crescendo of noise and gusto.

For all they touch turns eventually into happiness. 

Through faith and conviction.

Everywhere they go.

Even though they may be hurting.

For a soul which has borne pain and risen once again. 

Is always strengthened tenfold.

So precious and imbued with such a rare beauty.

Never to be beaten, assimilated into the masses. 

But to be one of those rare souls with an indomitable will.

The World is waiting for your voice.

So go and shine as you must.

Don’t let your dreams turn to dust!

For The Sacred Flames of Life

Truth, Compassion, and Kindness call to compel you 

To use its Light to illuminate the darkest of corners.

Of any known day or night.
