A prayer for stoking the hope-fire.

As of late, my energy has been rather low. However, that energy is also stubborn and won’t be diminished. I imagine that many hearts are feeling that way right now, and this prayer is somethi
ng I have to offer in the hope that it helps, even if it’s only a small amount. The structure of it is loosely based off the structure of smooring prayers, but I then took it in a different direction.
Building the Hope-fire
I will build this hope-fire,
as the three Brighids build it,
the Poet at the head,
the Smith at the heart,
the Healer at the hands,
I will stoke this hope-fire,
as They eternally stoke it,
stoking the embers to endure,
let not that flickering flame go out.
This day and each day,
this night and each night.
This day and every day,
This night and every night.
