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

Dear Debra, I really like the way you built from the first degree to the fourth degree. Once we have learned to "leg go," we are free to cherish memories of love that has left our lives. Outstanding write! Congratulations on your win! Love, Carolyn

To live and love, forgive and forget. Sometimes takes time for life to set. Each new day brings a fading past. Of pain and hate that mustn't last. So glad you've found you way back Debra. I've missed you. :) Peace.
