Flame of the forest. 28.2.21
Spring's here!
Her skirts made of
Orange and red flowers!
Palash in bloom
'Flame of the forest'
Transformed by
The sunshine
Blaze of colour
Tongues of fire
Leaping high..
Long long ago
Prince in hiding
Royalty forced
Into obscurity,
Shepherding his flock;
Strange sight ahead
Burning bush
On fire but not burnt..
He was shocked..
God Most High
God most Holy
Entrusting a huge task
Divine appointment and plan
Shepherd His people
Into the promised land...
Mighty rushing wind
Tongues of fire
Unschooled fishermen
Tongues came to life
Holy Spirit at work
Transformed the world..
We're fickle
Easily distracted
Our love for Him
Luke warm
Wears thin..
Need His infilling
Keep the flames burning..
Our love lives too
The fires at the beginning,
Too easily turn
Into smouldering heaps
We grow apart
Choked by the smoke..
Broken hearts..
He is the key
Need His grace
Keep the fires burning
Grow old together
For keeps..
Our evanescent spring
Doesn't stay long
The blossoms
Soon wither and dry..
But He's the same
Creator Father
Friend and Saviour Son
The Comforter and Helper
Three in one
Stoking the flames
Keeping them alive…
