Thirty Days of Thanks - Day 8: Consuming Fire Like Pentecost
Tongues of fire alight top trees

Blazing red
Orange enflaming
Broad grey backdrop

But this fire burns downward
And in

Tips of leaves like wicks
Flicker of a flame
That consumes
And grows


Wind swept leaves
A fire that flies
All the while singing



Consume me

Until like leaves
My tongue sings
An endless song of thanks

And glory flies . .
