Embers of a dying fire.

I believe us as a world are each just a little ember of a blazing fire.

We are all somber embers waiting to be ignited.

Just one strike of a match could enlighten us all.

One blow of the wind could haul us off and we could start a forest fire.

We could be a quire of choking smoke.

We could burn down the oak trees.

The breeze could make us stronger.

We little embers can always dream on...

Author's Note

I know embers are apart of a dying fire, but they can also start a new fire.

The image of the embers of a dying fire makes me think of Poe's "The Raven." There, of course, they symbolized despair, but here they represent hope. Not that a forest fire is something to hope for, but in this work such a great blaze represents the enthusiasm that a single ember could ignite. After that, anything can happen. We all have the potential to be such embers. Liked the message here.

Thank you. I tried to make it more uniquely written because fires are bright, so they make the darkness be less dark, so I was like that’s it!Thank you for your kind words

The imagery is so vivid. I particularly love the use of “embers” to deliver such a strong and powerful message. Yes, we should never give up or give in. We are capable and we can turn mountains. A good write.
