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
