Flame

Like an Ember she burns

By Abi Rose TravisPublished about a year ago • 1 min read

Like a flame dancing in the night

Fighting to always be a source of light

A warm place for those around

Trying to burn away the darkness that surrounds

The struggles to keep her flame lit

Some have tried to tame it

Some have tried strangle it

Others have simply gotten entangled in it

She flickers between fury and grace

Shadows and beauty dance across her face

Her warmth longs to be shared

The fire inside longing to be dared

But do not touch her carelessly

For she will burn you

She is an ember

How she ignites depends on what you do
