Flaming Fire
Seeing that flaming fire,
when all I want to do is look inward
and take myself higher.
As I watch lies form,
turning to anger,
please—
set my soul on fire.
A nail‑bitten finger, trembling,
living by the wire.
Trying to electrify life,
to spark, to rise,
to take me
to the top of the world.
James Garratt – March 1993
