The Encounter With Fire

A man quietly steps into his black room
Editing the film, he cuts it and lays it gently down on the table
Never ignoring his emotions he starts to cry

It is the sensation when emotions run rapid and overwhelm the body

What lay at his fingertips now past
A frame of life
Now, just once was.

Walking outside towards a field
He can’t help but look up
These stars-
These swirling divine lights
Since he was a little boy they’ve looked over him
Tonight they just seemed to press against his inner thoughts
Showing him a new intimacy with his soul, that he didn’t ask for

His shallow glance upon the heavens was meant to harm
The judgmental attitude of pain was about him
He shouted out to the Lord in agony.
“Show me the way,
Let me see it with your eyes oh Lord my God”
And the Lord answered his prayer that night.

All the nature outside stopped in terror
The rain started to come down, and beat upon his head
It shook his infrastructure
His legs were shaky and collapsed like none other
Hands hitting the ground, nails digging into the soil
His heart beat loudly in his ears, and his blood pressure rose
A frantic moment in time
And he crashed to the ground, as the heavens opened up.

Trying to look up was hard enough, but all he could see was a glow.
Making out two eyes, he squinted at the brightness
Two eyes stared upon him, looking deep into his unknowns with compassion and forgiveness.
He was sacred, and his insides shook.

Then in a Holy Moment
His eyes burned with Love, and tingled like fire.
And in a moment he saw through out saviors eyes.

Do you see the fire in his eyes?
Unleash the man within you.
You were created for a bigger purpose.
