FireLight (fire in our soul)

November 22, 2015

FireLight 2015 was last night at Sweetwater Brewing Co. in Atlanta. Around 1000 folks came out to support the Georgia Conservancy Stewardship Trips Program. I am very thankful I could have such a key role in the evening. Thanks to Bryan and Johanna and all the gang at the GA Conservancy for treating me so well.

I wrote a poem for the event. I read it last night to the crowd.

FireLight
————————-

Pieces of the moon
they fell to the land
it shown in our eyes
it warmed our cold hands

Pieces of the moon
they looked so bright
they fell to the earth
they fell in the night

we gathered around
it warmed our soul
we recounted the day
no one felt cold

we toasted bread
we raised our drinks
the moon had broke in the sky
the embers spoke in red and pink

the fire light
we all know today
came from the sky
in a special way

fire light
fire in our soul
we all hold hands
and we don’t grow old

the fire inside
it warms our heart
from the nights cool beginnings
to the dawns perfect start
