There is a candle in your heart...

in #poetry7 years ago

There is a candle in your heart, ready to be kindled.

There is a void in your soul, 

              ready to be filled.

You feel it, don't you? 

You feel the separation

             from the Beloved. 

Invite Him to fill you up, 

             embrace the fire.

Remind those who tell you otherwise that

             Love 

             comes to you of its own accord, 

             and the yearning for it cannot be learned in any school.
