EMBERS

EMBERS

Footsteps on the ground, hands reach down
Gathering tinder from all around.

Crackle and crunch says the dry leaves
A new found friend for me.

Flint and stone struck together
Useless without the other.

A spark created between the two
A place to start brand new.

Winds of fate begin to blow
A fire burns within my soul.

Showers of trouble slowly fall
Threatening to end it all.

Clouds roll by, blue clear sky
A single ember struggles to survive.

Hope prevails, fans the flames
A sign of better days.

A single ember, a ray of hope
Eternal love between our souls.
