.

I have a burning face now
It is almost painful
Also distressing
What is this burning
in my face

My face is burning
I sense it comes from
a yearning
Is this yearning mine or
is it Divine

I remember the story
of the Burning Bush
Moses stood on Holy Ground
He had to take off his shoes to
thread gently on the soil

What is this burning
I have a Burning Bush
of life in my inner being
Is it a Holy Fire
I do need to admire

It is so easy to mix
this Fire with desire
Too quickly I try to satisfy
this hunger within
Yet for something deeper I must wait

The waiting is agonizing
It almost stretches my bones
I think something is ready
to be bye-gones
A New River

May it come
May it flow
May it be free
