A chapter in the book Songs of Recovery
A Hope of Fire
In you, I see all the brilliance and glow of fire:
the illumination of hope and life even in the darkest places,
a light to ward away evil and draw close safety—
protective in its flames and guiding in its sparks,
both hunger for the joys of life and a safe place to share them,
with no need to doubt itself, or the warmth it can offer—
burning with such intensity and passion,
it is both an implacable and beautiful thing.
I hope you take comfort in this:
no matter how dim and difficult things seem, coals can be rekindled—
no matter how difficult people say it is, fire is majesty itself—
no matter how icy the world, you can melt a way through it.
Fire knows itself in any shape, elemental to its being,
and I know you will burn with awe-inspiring brightness
to carry yourself and those you care for out of dark times,
even if sometimes the flames scorch the ground.
