Lasting Power
On power that sustains without harm
Today marks the International Day of Clean Energy - a day not just about energy policies or fossil fuels, but power that LASTS.
That doesn't deplete. That doesn't scorch.
About how power systems (literal and otherwise), should be designed to last beyond their tenure.
Power that remains scaffolds, not harms.
🌱💡🕊️
Power
Responsibility that lingers
Way beyond its tenure
Does not speak
Just seems.
🌱💡🕊️
Refreshed
No fodder
Does not scorch the ground
It walks
Safe space.
🌱💡🕊️
The lamp still glows
When dawn breaks
The heat does not scorch -
just warms.
🌱💡🕊️
Roaring flames soften
The brightness lowers.
True power resides,
Not lives.
🌱💡🕊️
Power
Scaffolds with its strength
Stays without drain
Or harm.
🌱💡🕊️
Lasts.
