We have just started The Sacred Fire as a subject for general masonic discussion, so here is a poem on the same.
THE SACRED FIRE
No light in darkness
but the Sacred Fire
can overcome
the irreducible Surd's
negative mathematic
on un-illumined night.
Beyond shadows
of things unseen
or cast in modern times
by artificial light,
beyond--ageless
and limitless
the star flecked
black sky dome,
beyond words whispered
or shouted rooftop high
the Sacred Fire rises.
Across millennia
kept alive--not
in name only
but through realities
disparate...as
vagaries of fortune,
now...in the fusing
of today's alignment
a Ruby Lamp
recalls that fire lit
ages in the past,
but burning still...
from the Eternal Flame.
