Flames of Genuine Care

Location

I gaze curiously upon those around me

As I wonder where their life journeys have taken them

I long to reach out

To inquire about their worries,

Loves, hopes, dreams

All the things that combine

To make a magnificent masterpiece

My desire to partake in the lives around me

Absorbs my being

I yearn to reach out

To be the small flame that ignites the fire

The fire of burning hope

The flames of consuming love

The blaze of radiating self-confidence

I engage in the lives around me

I feel the walls of self-doubt

Sadness and fear

Crumble slowly under

My contagious love

My engulfing care

My small flame ignites their fires

Of burning hope

Of consuming love

Of radiating self-confidence

As I behold the radiant luminescence

Of the many fires set in those surrounding me

I feel joy, satisfaction

Due to the fact that

Flames start small fires

Small fires start bonfires

Bonfires can consume all
