Sometimes I sit
At night alone,
Within cool wind,
Upon warm stone.

When it's too dark
To see with eyes,
I see by light
Of inner fires.

There's something blazing, blazing,
Again, again.
If I give my thought
A name,
I say:
My God is a flame.

Please tell me
You see it, too.
I need that,
To feel close to you.

I see your fire
Like I see your face.
I love that flame.
Let it blaze.

There's something blazing, blazing,
Again, again.
If I give my thought
A name,
I say:
My God is a flame.
