smoke and fire poem

I rush in like

wheres the fire?

Can't see the flames

for the smoke.



I bust in with

good intentions,

living water,

but I choke.



wheres the exit?

burnt scorched feet,

repleat with guilt,

where they've walked

and the strongholds I've built,

shells of dark worry populate and fill

my hurried hasty heart.




Oh say, Can we see,

the freedom we need?

Do failures build mountains,

or just build our grief?


When winter has come will we live

or let go?

I've been through the season, and now

I know that I know. :)
