Blanket

Blanket

A blanket of rain 
Snuffs out the licking fire
Leaving an ashen trail
And smoke coiling
Up in the air. 

A blanket of night
Shows a little ember 
Shaking its way through
The remaining warmth.

A blanket of stars
To cheer its effort 
The tiny light stoked 
Up by the wind. 

Through the blanket
Of ashes, the tiny fire waking up 
Into a phoenix, it flies.
