Smoke

I am the smoke in the spotlight

Dancing in your warmth

Only do I come alive

When I am in your light

And I feel known

I drift in and out

Like a fickle lover

But you’ve never changed

Always in the same place for me to twist back

Every day I draw closer and drift less

Once drifting aimlessly

You sought me out

Picking me out

From the mess

Turning it to beauty

The intent always for beauty

Shrouded by dark

Until the purpose is discovered

All becomes promise

Hope fulfilled in You

Pluck me from the dark though I flee

May I find my purpose in you
