Lift Me Up

I Need No Bushel

We are lanterns, holding promise

Burning desire, fear, potential

Warmth

Warriors

Fueling emotions, creating decisions

Choosing, nodding, becoming

Believing, burning doubt

Cleansing intentions

Smoldering

Bringing clarity to the shadows

Drying and dripping tears

Leaving streaks, pathways on our skin for all to follow

Individual sparks-life-houses, showing a way

A single flame ignited, exposing the mountainside

Uniting, forging, forgiving

Contained wildfires

Waiting for a signal, a sign to become

A calling

An idea begun, continued, nurtured

And set free

Set forth

Set

Holding hope for the breeze

The breath of life

Meant to scorch the skin

The mind

Setting in motion

Our destiny
