Heat of the Invisible Fire

I look for new light

in old flames

the quietest crackling embers

searching for that mad spark that

will set alight my time-dried mind

 

but the fire has always been but one

sometimes seen, sometimes not

that runs right through the Earth

immanent, infinite 

in thunder and star, love and hurt

it's not the light I seek

 

but the heat of the invisible fire
