Six Ways To See Fire

by Joe Peterson

I

a busybody

will set fire

to a town with her tongue

II

an unstable man

is like gasoline:

one spark

will ignite him

III

the fire

of fleshly desire

in unquenchable

but confinable

IV

Satan's fiery darts—

sinner, sinner—

are quenched

in Jesus' blood

V

the Holy Spirit

baptizes with fire,

a burning

sorrow for sin

VI

fiery trials

shape Christians

into chalices

of pure gold
