The King Fire 2014

not my picture. Photog unknown

I see faces in the flames

creepy, demonic ones

like a lion

seeking whom he may devour 

Even in the shape of the fire

there always seems to be a demon

laughing 

at those who try to stop it.

I know I need not fear

The Lord is with me

still I quiver

in the face of such evil...

And yet.

God uses fire to describe Himself

Apart from the evil. 

Wind.... rain... fire...

 both evil and good 

two ends of the spectrum. 

 I  see more 

than just the evil 

here in this mocking fire...

because I know
that GOD

will eventually be

the VICTOR.
