Where Frozen Embers Still Burn
To the first degree some embers still burn
chilled by harsh breathed words
Smoldering for a length of time
until a bought lesson is learned
To the second degree some embers still burn
iced as events go unchanged
Seething anger builds up within
until the release point is learned
To the third degree some embers still burn
freezing in remembrances hand
Simmering thoughts, ...unresolved,
until the “letting go of” is learned
To the fourth degree some embers still burn
frozen fresh in memories churn
treasured cinders held within
these are the embers love earned
