Ash, Flame, Ember, and Glow

by Michelle Gase

lavaGlowing

Heavy with Them

smoke and darkness and flame

and Light and pain

and joy

unbounding joy

 

Tears and darkness

lava

molten it flows from The Depths

 

The Earth

She catches the flame

Lights up and burns

Burns

to the highest peak

 

Darkness Fades

light kisses the shore

smoke clears 

wind blows the ash

 

Two Saplings entwined

 

Ashes

And

Embers
