Renewal

Red is a paradox
That bends and sways,
Reduces with heat
What is born to decay

It is a natural occurrence
When fire razes
A destruction of life
To usher in new stages

If God’s mighty blaze
Has swept through your life
Obliterated your grounds
Set the sky bright with strife,

Then hold on dear soul
For the fires will die,
And the smoke and the smog
Will reveal a blue sky

Beneath all the ash
New life will bloom,
And what was darkened and crowded
Will grow large with new room

So never doubt,
Let not that heart despair
The flames were set with purpose
He knows the needs your bear

The reason for this destruction
Of all the things of you
Is to set a new horizon,
Redirect your point of view

Force your gaze to the heaven
Smolder a new desire,
One solely set on Him –
The ultimate supplier
