Fires Of Renewal ~*Marge Tindal*~  Stepping across a darkened night seeking warmth from life-chilling winds In gently beckoning serenade welcomed at the fire-circle of friends In silent reverie jumps the flame colors crackle - in dancing hue Pulling blue from deepened pain casting shadows from soul's review Cleansing rituals of the spirits brought to ease the soul of you Give it all unto the fire so you can burn anew Renewing comes when fire burns down in the pit upon the ground But the embers of eternity burn catching your soul in new abound Walk in peace from the fire-circle knowing you now are more Return when you have need of warmth Keepers Of The Fire - encircle evermore Thanking those who tend the fires~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Marge-I had to reread and got 2 different meanings, first I have felt this way when I have watched the flames burning, a loss when all that is left is embers, but the rememberance of warmth and letting go. My husband is a pyromaniac, so I will have to share this with him, I'm sure he may pick up on a few of your thoughts also. Very splendidly written. |

Walker~ Thank you. Gemini~ I hope you gather all the sparks you need at the fire. The fire-circle is a healing ritual of my Indian heritage. Pleased to know you ponder the meanings. JamesMichael~ Yes, my friend ... we need to focus on healing ourselves. Thank you, James. Skyfire~ Thank you. Vicky~ The fire-circle is kept for friends to gather and know peace within. Thank you for sharing my fire-circle, sweet friend. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

The flames draw, the embers give the warmth, and in the darkness beyond the firelight, the ancient ones nod in approval..well, done, tender of the flames, guardian of the fires...very gentle smile |

Hi there, just came to throw another log on the fire - ah, Marge this was so lovely! I have a few twigs in my back pocket - could you use them?~*~ Tell someone you love them today, as tomorrow may never come ~*~ |

"Renewing comes when fire burns down in the pit upon the ground But the embers of eternity burn catching your soul in new abound Walk in peace from the fire-circle knowing you now are more Return when you have need of warmth Keepers Of The Fire - encircle evermore" Wonderful writing! Wonderful message! Full of the ancient wisdom! |

Marge this is another beautiful look into your Indian world. What a wonderful way to heal. I will never look at a fire the same way again. Now it will be to let go of things that hold me down. Thank you and hugs, ME |

When you've described a ritual so well that even the reading leads to a feeling of refreshment and renewal, you've written with inspired pen. I thank you for this beautiful poem. |
