Is the Fire Still Burning? - By Rosana Ortiz


I think about the fire in me,

Is it still burning?

It has to be, but I can't feel the crackling of the fire, I can't smell the burning of the wood.

Is the file still burning?

I once was told that God needed dry wood to start a fire.

If that's true, was my heart dry and callous towards God once before or it it now?

Is the fire still burning?

I once smelled it and felt it.

Is it still there?

Have I lost it, if I did then, when and how?

I want it back, I want the fire. I want to smell the incense of the burning wood, feel the crackling of the hot burning wood.

Burning and burning for only one person . . .

one heart, one soul, one passion, one love . . . Jesus
