Through charcoal outer Light breaks through The after-fire All flesh renew Still tender as Not toughened yet But fresh to view With no regret Complex review As furnace white Has tempered hopes Of burnished bright But love remains No smoke or stains A rich encounter Not sorrow chains. 3rd September 2023 Contest: NO 1241 NEW POEM ONLY Sponsored by: Brian Strand

Lovely poetry Christopher. Through the embers love will glow, a spark will ignite a broken heart to love again in a bright new start… Belle
