Devotional Poetry

The Blue Flame

The Blue Flame

Soul is a blue flame
As the distance between the spirit and God increases
The frequency of its color is lowered
Or the wavelength shad is lengthened
Sifting its hue toward the red
Tinting the blue flame cherry
Then burgundy
Then ruby
Then scarlet
Then a deep crimson blue.

Soul is a blue flame
As the distance between God and the human spirit decreases
The wavelength of its color is shortened
Or the frequency of its shade is raised
Shifting its hue toward the violet
Tinting the blue flame lavender
Then lilac
Then purple
Then indigo
Then a deep violet blue
