Notes About The Poem

VOICE: Ahmad Razvi

Listen to poem:

Embers of Love

Winter heart so cold
My fire extinct long ago
In ice, hail and fog
Small embers of love remain
Only you can rekindle

It's a hard form this one, but you have done it more than justice, Duir! From the smallest of embers can rage a bushfire! Another name for the Druids was the Fire Fathers. Especially the Bards, it was called Headfire. Where your embers do rage! /|\
