The Wordsmiths Book 2021

Blaze series

Fire – With but a spark you erupt to life Fire and fury around you rife Bursting on stage front and centre The star of the show, now let enter A raging inferno blazing bright Roaring your defiance against the night Eclipsing the heavens with sheer might Drawing the eye of all within sight Passion personified given form Exerting your will upon this great storm Yet still gentle and warm to those around With a crackling yet soothing, hypnotic sound

Warmth – A muted glow, flickering A gentle light’s caress The stars above glimmering

The calmness of peace no words can express The hint of smoke hanging doggedly in the air The quiet atmosphere for all to share Not unlike a beloved’s embrace Or the legacy of laughter that no darkness can displace Despite the pains of the past that may yet haunt Or the terrors tomorrow may yet bring I find myself oddly without want And without doubt’s ever-present sting

Spark – A faded, muted, dying light Come this moment to ignite Let the darkness go to the night As we set the world alight Like a phoenix rising to flight In this moment all is right Heartbeat rises to excite As the soul sings out and in delight We dance together past twilight As the heat rises into the night Our lives, our fates we overwrite Living at the speed of light
