Fire in Motion

A Poem About Momentum, Power, and Becoming

By Tim CarmichaelPublished 5 months ago • Updated 5 months ago • 1 min read

There is a fierce, shouting type of joy

that belongs entirely to you.

✨

It is the sudden rush

of knowing you can alter

the whole trajectory of a day

just by choosing to move.

✨

Right now,

a sharp velocity is waking up in your blood,

an immediate urge to build,

to shout,

to break out of the old lines

and run.

✨

You possess an incredible, unspent power,

a brilliant capability

that is ready to reshape

everything you look at.

✨

This is about the fast thrill of action,

the sheer delight

of testing a boundary

and watching it snap wide open.

✨

Every single choice you make

lights up a brand-new direction.

✨

You are the one who sets the pace.

You are the one who decides

how bright the fire burns.

✨

Feel the absolute readiness in your body,

poised and gathered,

ready to leap.

✨

The current is moving,

the day is wide,

and there is a massive, beautiful opening

just waiting for you

to charge right through it.

✨

Go.

✨

This hour belongs to you,

and you have everything required

to make it magnificent.
