Into the Fire

Passionate thoughts about the world of writing and the Power of God

Higher, farther.

Oxygen sucked from air and words disappear in vapor.

Clawing at the cliffs of experience.

Waiting for the memory to form from the present

And the make believe.

Knowing perfection cannot come

But hoping its cousin will delight on the page.

Crushing the fingers pressing on keys.

Exhales that sound like the pounding

and whooshing of waterfalls.

The climb to the pinnacle vacillates

Between folly and failure.

Hoping for fanfare.

Receiving a whiff.

God, needing you in it all. So much. Always. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
