    My Spiritual Arsonist

    I think it was around the time my mamma died
    I tore my clothes away and cried and cried and cried
    I shook the bed, convulsing, side to side
    I finally drifted into tortured dreams to hide

    My inner soul began to chill, no fire
    My heart forgot to beat, and tired
    My face grew long, my eyes looked dark and wired
    My brain mulled through black thoughts that death had sired

    You somehow knew, you called to dry my tears
    You came to me, you have through all the years
    Your comforting my heart to melt my fears
    You seem to know the time agony nears

    Then my spiritual arsonist , hero of my soul
    The light inside rekindles, lights, and glows
    The heart of me remembers songs of old
    The life came back into my eyes, like gold

    My Spiritual Arsonist, the hero of my soul.

    Simply beautiful. This is such an inspirational piece. You offer so much heart and soul. Thank you for sharing this with us.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
