The Blaze

If your life is not for the world, 
Then give it to God. 
Because it's not enough to know 
What you're not for, 
But what you are.

Abandoning the world 
Might seem to make an absence, 
But it reveals 
The fullness of life, 
Of Being, 
Of God.

Leave the world alone, 
And His presence awakens 
In your heart, 
In all of you. 

He was already there, 
Waiting for your love, 
Which is His love 
In you.

It rises 
Like a sacrificial flame 
To the Heavens. 

Light the fires of love 
In your heart, 
And be consumed 
By the Divine blaze.
