Discovering Fire David S.

Who says you need anything
more than a prayer,
a dream,
a mustard seed,
the faith
or foolishness
(are they one and the same?)
to give everything
leap from the cliff?
Friends, family
looking up
they will catch you
and teach you
and color in the blank spaces
of your head and heart
whatever you were lacking
at the start
the lovers
would love nothing more
than to share with you the knowledge
of how to gather your sticks and leaves
arrange them just so,
add flint and breath
discover
your spark could be a
fire.
