Fire in Motion
A Poem About Momentum, Power, and Becoming

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.
