Two Fires
Some feel the Holy Spirit
as the fire of the soul.
Some who have NO spirit
might feel a vacant hole.
Perhaps a little devilish
they like to play a bit.
They might light fires in Beltane -
and a “festival” call it.
It seems such ancient rituals
go on and on and on,
which fire seems eternal
since before the Christians’ dawn.
But we can be assured
there is but one good fire.
Not the one who evil love,
but the one who Christ desire.
