Fire

Escape

By Colleen WaltersPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

I see you burning.

Heart peeling, feeling, fearing

hearing, searing pain.

—-

Mind shaming, framing,

claiming your joy, affliction

fans the glowing coals.

—-

You don’t have to burn.

You can step out of the fire

and step into Light.

—-

Let go of the matches.

“For I, the Lord your God, will hold your right hand, Saying to you, ‘Fear not, I will help you.’”

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭41‬:‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
