Notes About The Poem

Embers

Floating embers 

Born of fire 

Glowing in the wind, 

Blowing with the breeze.


We sometimes touched each other
 
Above the knees,

Threw a spark,

Started fires with ease.


Together we burned the world 

Into the ground 

As we passed through. 


Who knew 

That one day 

We would close our eyes 

Forever.
