Embers

Embers Embers waiting I knew the embers Would in time be owned History has chosen And they are mine alone Others have memories But mine are deep Missing what I choose to keep Memories Flare My fire burns hot Missing what was And now are not Embers waiting To flame once again Emotion tears And mostly pain Reminds me Of my lost touch Reminds me What I miss so much Embers to keep Not hard to reach Embers hot Missing what was And now are not Embers to keep Together and forever Copyright December 13, 2023
