A dream of sparks of optimism
Flickering their brightest blessings
Up from a bed of old broken down conceptions
Lights up the conditions for burning clean
The pathway for the answer to the deepest needs
To arise from the collective knowing
Of one’s full potential of innate power,
Steering the imagination toward desire’s outer reaches
By projecting a new understanding into the unknown
Being realized in the glow of such promise.
The will of a passion for walking on fire
Sees the ability to visualize release
In the burned down coals of fear,
Answering the call for potential’s stimulation
With a plan of conviction’s intrepidity
Trusting the ancient inner wisdom
In the consciousness that conjures the event
Of such deeply held beliefs being tested
Through the quest that leaves one reality
For a new one of enhanced existence.
A voice from within speaks
Toward this vitality
Believing that its completed desire
Is to rise to the challenge of such heat
With an instilled confidence of expectation
Expressed through intuitive understanding,
But only after the tension of anticipation
Escapes the bewilderment of illusion
And uses the departure from old values
To emote the open heart’s gratitude.
The embraced illumination of the sacred fire
Moves toward the openhearted trust
From its position of responsibility
Via the exciting challenge of dynamic change
Dancing in the shaman’s rhythmic call,
Connecting the pre-individual with transcendence
To pass the purity of motive through the gate
On the glowing path of awakened imagination
To break free from belief into a quest
For a sharing of the trust’s blessings.
