The Thought That Serves The Flame
💔🔥 “The Thought That Serves the Flame” by William S. Becker A thought’s no king—it’s just a slave, To serve the want, the beast, the crave. It dances blind at desire’s command, Building the castle that ego planned. I think because my heart demands, Its hunger sculpted by unseen hands. Each dream I chase, each fear I feed, Was born from what I think I need. The mind’s a liar cloaked in grace, It bows to hunger’s masked embrace. But if I fix my gaze above, That same fire burns with holy love. So day and night I till this ground, Where selfish seeds in dust are found. I water them with thought so pure, Till only His desire endures. Then thought becomes the chariot bright, Desire transformed into endless Light. And what was “me” dissolves at last— A slave no more, but free and vast.
