Be The "Fire!" (As A Metaphor For Passionate Creativity)
Whenever you are
cold and lonely,
be the "fire!"
If you find yourself
down and out,
be the "fire!"
When nobody
else dares to,
be the "fire!"
Or should all
else fail you,
be the "fire!"
Because the
love of God is you
and that's the "fire!"
-Paul Whiting
(a.k.a., Three Dark Horses)
"I am the darkness which brings the light!"
My Spiritual Notes:
The reason that I wrote this poem can be summed up with the following statement: "The love of God is you and that's the 'fire!'" (By the way, I mean the word "fire" as a metaphor for passionate creativity.)
And this poem was also published on my "Small All White in the Forest" and "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer" blogs (please see the hyperlinks below for the blogs), since I feel that the message in this poem applies to the message that I am trying to convey through "Small All White in the Forest" and "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer."
This poem was written in Portland, Oregon.
