Fire

Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when publishedThe world is calling loudly and in whispers
Never stop tugging and pulling creating shivers
Raising the question 'will he manage to overcome its pleasures?'
But he knows the power of the one who overseas the downpouring showers

But wait! He knows that the power is unleased with his choice to walk
It waits in the wings patiently, ready to satisfy the decision by releasing the force
To consume the world with an inferno of awakening light
The same as the Phoenix who blocks the sun allowing us to see another night

The flesh is powerful and she wields her prize willfully
With the intention of manipulating his desires skillfully
Drawing his lustful hunger to palpable heights
His eyes blur, enthralled in wild desire and inevitable plight

Absorbed in thoughts of the awaiting help, he stares at his dilemma
He loves the fire burning inside when walking on the coals for the master
But the flesh in its ever turning cycle of climactic desire
Burns his loins and dampens the spirit that sparks the power

The battle rages on and he knows the inevitability of the path he must take
The persistent voice he hears resonates more with anger making his mind quake
The flesh releases the tension and he is left empty and unfulfilled
Ready to commit to the reigniting fire inside, until...

The answer he searches daily, but deep inside he knows
The angel walking with him daily has persisted and shown
Him every truth he has asked in his continuous talk with the Father
Yet his lust desires to feed the famished flesh its batter

Watch and pray.

“…Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

Matthew 26:40

We are all engulfed in this challenge, but avoid regret by being five years too early than one day too late.
