The Heart's Fire

Was yesterday dark?
Let hope renew you.
Did you wake today?
There's your chance for breakthrough!

The test won't last forever,
though darkness is clever.
It pales when compared to
the heart-fire inside you.

From mourning to morning,
from night to day,
from depressed to deep rest
the heart's fire burns away...

...the pains of the past
and turns them to ash
that fortifies the rich soil
for blooms that will last.
