Can you see it?
A flicker
No
It’s there
But barely
Don’t breathe
Hold them tightly and keep your tears
The light will be swallowed soon
And yet they glow
What’s this, a spark?
New life to bring to these forgotten embers?
Breath in the life and out the pain
Hope grows here
It starts out small
These wispy flames
How delicate a dance
Give life
Breath life
Feed
feed
feed
One branch at a time
Now Ablaze
The fire warms and shines it’s light
Don’t hold it back,
It’s path is clear
no more darkness
The embers are not too far gone
Hope for the smallest light

Be Your Own Advocate Challenge
So, folks...I wanted to do something a bit different for my next challenge thingo. I wanted to turn things back on you - as many of you have been firm and constant supporters of me and I always feel I've been a let down in terms of reciprocating.
